Posted by Li <am...@gmail.com>.
have you tried java.util.ArrayList,
or
create an action form that extends ValidatorForm, which declare your List
object there

Re: Validation on String[]
Posted by Mark Shifman <ma...@yale.edu>.
A few years ago I wrote my own validator which checked whether the
listbox had at least one
thing selected. Below is the validator
(http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/Struts11Val/index-14.html)
helped me get going. Also below is a validator-rules-custom.xml that
needs to be added to the struts config
like so;
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames"
value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,
/WEB-INF/validator-rules-custom.xml"/>
</plug-in>
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.apache.commons.validator.Field;
import org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessages;
import org.apache.struts.validator.Resources;
public class MultilistValidator {
private static final Log log =
LogFactory.getLog(MultilistValidator.class);
public static boolean validateRequiredMultilist(Object bean,
ValidatorAction va, Field field, ActionMessages errors,
HttpServletRequest request) {
try {
String[] s = (String[]) PropertyUtils.getProperty(bean,
field.getProperty());
if ((s == null) || (s.length == 0)) {
errors.add(field.getKey(),
Resources.getActionMessage(request,va, field));
return false;
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
log.fatal(ex, ex);
errors.add(field.getKey(),
Resources.getActionMessage(request, va, field));
return false;
}
return true;
}
}

<form-property name="locations" type="java.util.ArrayList"/>
<field property="locationName" indexedListProperty="locations"
depends="required">
<arg key="Location" resource="false"/>
</field>
in your action class:
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
Location location = new Location();
location.setLocationName("A Location");
list.add(location);
dyForm.set("locations", list);
I'm not sure how to validate a simple array of strings (eg
java.lang.String[]) as the property attribute is required by the validator.

RE: Validation on String[]

<form-property name="locations" type="java.util.ArrayList"/>
<field property="locationName" indexedListProperty="locations" depends="required">
<arg key="Location" resource="false"/>
</field>
in your action class:
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
Location location = new Location();
location.setLocationName("A Location");
list.add(location);
dyForm.set("locations", list);
I'm not sure how to validate a simple array of strings (eg java.lang.String[]) as the property attribute is required by the validator.
