[S2] Date Validation

[Rodrigo Pereira <ro...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
how can I validate a datetime picker?

I have the following in my validation.xml file:
<field name="date">


<field-validator type="required">

<message key="errors.date.required"/>

</field-validator>


</field>

but I am getting this error message:
05/04/2008 14:53:41 org.apache.struts2.components.DateTimePicker format

SEVERE: Could not parse date

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: ""

If I comment this field validation, all the rest of my validation on this form work.

Does anybody have an idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Rodrigo Pereira

I don't think that's caused by the validation. 
That error occurs when the DatePicker attempts to set its current value 
but the value is an invalid format.  In this case it's blank.

My guess is that the params have been set on your action, validation is 
invoked on the action, validation failed because the Date (or another 
field) wasn't set, the input result was returned, the page was 
redisplayed but the DatePicker failed to render itself because the date 
value was null.

Use an s:property or s:date to see what the date value is after a 
validation failure.

Hope that helps.
