[validator] Validating ALL fields
Dear All,
In using the commons validator (with Struts) I am finding that it stop
at the first failure.
Is there any way (apart from extending the current framework with my
own checks) to have it continue validating so that a set of failing
fields can be returned?
Many thanks,
Stewart

Thank you for the tip Niall.
I'm not sure if the "extends" Validator is right for me, as what I'm doing is:
I have an ArrayList of beans (using your LazyValidatorForm) and the
beans are implmenting an interface I called "DynamicallyValidatable"
which declares one method: getValidationRuleName() which returns a
"depends" String of validation rules, and then I have a custom
validation method which calls this, retrieves the appropriate
ValidationAction object from the framework and invokes it.
What I would like to see is the stopOnFirstError="false" struts plugin
setting a property in the validator as well as on the javascript. I
may just do this myself, but it won't be before November...
Stewart
PS Do you think "dynamic validation" of indexed properties is a
feature that would be wanted by more than just myself?

The short answer is there isn't a way besides customizing validator - as you
indicated on the struts list thats the approach you took:
http://www.mail-archive.com/user%40struts.apache.org/msg35473.html
If you want an alternative "hack" - then I wrote an "extends" validator
which resolves this issue. The only downside is you can't use javascript
validation with it - but in the case of "indexed" properties, javascript
validation isn't supported anyway. You can find/download it here:

I already have "stopOnFirstError" set.
Apparently it this is for the javascript validation.
How do I get it to work on the server side?
I'm using a List-backed Form, by the way.
ie:
<html:text property="propList[0].beanProp"/>
<html:text property="propList[1].beanProp"/>
etc
where the form has an ArrayList of beans
Thank you for your suggestion,
Stewart

in your struts-config.xml
put this
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames" value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml
,/WEB-INF/validations.xml"/>
<set-property property="stopOnFirstError" value="false"/>
</plug-in>
