Struts time-validator

Hi!

 

At first, sorry for my poor english.

Struts validator is excellent, it makes our work much easier. But I a little
miss one thing: time-validator (not sure this is the correct expression in
english).

In a webapp there are a lot of date field and sometimes it is important to
be a time field (timestamp in the DB). The date-validator is great, but I
couldn't find a time-validator.

Are you guys planning to implement it, or what can You tell to me?

 

Best Regards,

Gyula Soós

As Laurie said though, Struts would need modifying to take advantage of this.

If such a thing were to be added, it would be added to the Commons 
Validator on which Struts depends. You could ask on the commons lists 
about adding features to the validator, but the existing date validator 
can probably already do what you need provided you aren't using 
client-side validation.

You can configure the date validator with whatever formatting 
requirements you want, as supported by java.text.SimpleDateFormat. 
SimpleDateFormat supports time fields as well as date fields, so that 
should be enough to do what you want.

If it's not, you'll need to look at writing your own validation rule.

You can use the date validator and make the format string only care about 
the time part of the string.
