server-side validation with Validator
OK, I have to admit, I'm a bit confused using Validator, despite looking
at the online docs & having Ted's excellent book at hand.
I have everything setup to do server-side validation, as far as I can
tell ... I've set a breakpoint in DynaValidatorActionForm.validate and
it is getting called ... to test if the validation is working, I've
disabled the JavaScript validation by removing the onsubmit call for my
<html:form> element ... fine, now I can submit non-valid data. However,
I keep getting to my Action, instead of being shunted back to the input
page. My input page is defined as a tile definition, here's what my
struts-config.xml looks like (for that section):
<action
path="/US/garden/resources/orangeThumbApply"
type="com.fiskars.struts.actions.OrangeThumbSaveData"
name="orangeThumbApp"
scope="request"
validate="true"
input="garden.orangeThumbForm">
<forward
name="success"
path="garden.orangeThumbThankyou"/>
</action>
Does anyone see anything wrong here? To test the validation, I've left
out a required field and I've entered a text string for a numeric
(short) value.
My JavaScript validation seems to be working like a champ, but the
server-side stuff seems MIA, even though its being called.
TIA

One could use DynaValidatorActionForm for wizard processes that used the
same form but
validate different fields based on the path.

Yeah, I read pretty much exactly that in Ted's book, but I have to
admit, I'm not entirely sure what it means ... someone previously also
mentioned that the DynaValidatorForm uses the "name" attribute of the
action definition, whereas the DynaValidatorActionForm uses the "path"
... well, my "path" is the path for the Action ... I'm not sure under
what circumstances one would use DynaValidatorActionForm, I guess ...

Hi,
The DynaValidatorForm will match the formset name with the form-bean
name.
it uses mapping.getAttribute() to init the validator
The DynaValidatorActionForm will match the formset name with the
action-mapping path.
it uses mapping.getPath() for init the validator
