validate question ...
Hi,
My web-application allows a user to authenticate to the website.
I check for login and password with the Validator Framework (correct length,
correct carachters, ...)
Then display with <html:errors property="login"/> and <html:errors
property="password"/> in my jsp.
This work ok.
If he the fields are valid, I need to check in my DB if the user is really
subscribed.
1) Where should I do the DB validation ?
2) How do I return the errors to JSP, how do I display the errors in my jsp
?
can I have something similar like : <html:errors property="dberror"/> or
something like that ?
what's best ?
I have for this a "DynaValidatorForm" and an Action "LoginAction" if fields
are correct for the validator :
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="loginForm" type="
org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="login" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="password" type="java.lang.String" />
</form-bean>
[...]
<action
path="/Login"
type="controllers.submits.LoginAction"
name="loginForm"
input="/Error.do"
validate="true"
scope="request">
<forward name="index" path="/index.jsp"/>
<forward name="chat" path="/chat_form.jsp"/>
</action>
And my JSP :
login :
<br/>
<html:text property="login" size="10"/>
<!-- <span id="txtUsernameMsg">
Le login spécifié est invalide !
</span>-->
<html:errors property="login"/> <--- DISPLAY error if
login is empty
<!--
I WANT TO DISPLAY A MESSAGE HERE IF USER DOESNT EXIST IN
DATABASE, how ?
-->
<br/>
mot de passe :
<br/>
<html:password property="password" size="10"/>
<!-- <span id="txtPasswordMsg">
Le mot de passe spécifié est invalide !
</span>
-->
<html:errors property="password"/> <--- DISPLAY error if
password is empty

Do the DB validation in:
controllers.submits.LoginAction (execute) method.
The error handling should be:
If DB validation fails, create Action Error or Message and then pass it
back to the JSP as a failure.
The Error tags should be able to display it. If you use <html:errors/> you
dont have to manage individual <html:error> tags.

RE: validate question ...
Posted by Scott Purcell <sp...@ilevy.com>.
Basically, the way I would envision this, is that the validation framework checks to make sure the 'username' and 'password' fields are not NULL, or meet some form of low level character count.
Anyway, that is good. What I would do, is continue with that, then after the validator says this is acceptable, it should go to your controller. Within the controller, you should call a business object with the two fields, username, and password. The business object should return a value of success or failure.
If success, set user into session (or whatever) and let them in.
If not, throw a global exception (set a global exception in struts-config.xml) and set a message into the request. This should send them back to the login screen and they will see a message that the login was NOT successful.
Make sense? I think that is how I used to do it.
Scott
