RE: Struts Validation Question
What does your action mapping look like in the struts-config? Also, I
believe, by the time you are in the action validation will already be
performed (once you have it working properly). So you don't have a call to
validate() or anything to do with validation in the action.

Subject: Struts Validation Question
I've been trying to make validator work with our application. However, I've
not been
very successful. Here is what I did. Please let me know if I missed
anything.
I've created a form with firstName and LastName fields. The validator
should
see if that the form is not empty. Howver, when I don't fill in and submit,
I get
to the next page. I don't see the validator checking for errors and
reporting.
I followed the guidelines in http://www.onjava.com/lpt/a/2912
1) Put the commons-validator.jar,jakarta-oro.jar and the struts.jar in the
lib folder
2) Put the validator-rules.xml file in the web-inf directory.
3) created the validator.xml file in the web-inf directory and put the
following in the
validation.xml file:
<form-validation>
<!-- ========== Default Language Form Definitions =====================
-->
<formset>
<form name="com.gdm.form.FBOrder">
<field property="firstName"
depends="required,minlength">
<arg0 key="orderForm.firstname.displayname"/>
<arg1 name="minlength" key="${var:minlength}"
resource="false"/>
<var>
<var-name>minLength</var-name>
<var-value>5</var-value>
</var>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
</form-validation>
4) Created the ActionForm class and extended it from validator.form
5) Called the ((FBOrder)form).validate(..) method from the action class
6) Created the following code in struts-config.xml
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property
property="pathnames" vaue="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,
/WEB-INF/validation.xml" />
</plug-in>
7) put the following code in the jsp page.
<logic:messagesPresent>
<bean:message key="errors.header"/>
<ul>
<html:messages id="error">
<li><bean:write name="error"/></li>
</html:messages>
</ul><hr>
</logic:messagesPresent>
7) Put the following in the applicationresources.properties file.
button.cancel=Cancel
button.confirm=Confirm
button.reset=Reset
button.save=Save
# Errors
errors.footer=
errors.header=<h3><font color="red">Validation Error</font></h3>You must
correct the following error(s) before proceeding:
errors.ioException=I/O exception rendering error messages: {0}
error.database.missing=<li>User database is missing, cannot validate logon
credentials</li>
errors.required={0} is required.
errors.minlength={0} can not be less than {1} characters.
errors.maxlength={0} can not be greater than {1} characters.
errors.invalid={0} is invalid.
errors.byte={0} must be an byte.
errors.short={0} must be an short.
errors.integer={0} must be an integer.
errors.long={0} must be an long.
errors.float={0} must be an float.
errors.double={0} must be an double.
errors.date={0} is not a date.
errors.range={0} is not in the range {1} through {2}.
errors.creditcard={0} is not a valid credit card number.
errors.email={0} is an invalid e-mail address.
#Order Form
orderForm.firstname.displayname=First Name
orderForm.lastname.displayname=Last Name
