RE: validator for radio button does not work

["David G. Friedman" <hu...@ix.netcom.com>]

Jayaraman,

The problem you wrote about sounds like an old bug in the
commons-validator.jar which was fixed back in March 2004.
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30872

A corrected version of the commons-validator.jar is v1.1.3 and is used by
the latest stable Struts v1.2.4 release.  Perhaps you should consider
upgrading?  You might - I don't know if this will work - trying replacing
your lib/commons-validator.jar with the v1.1.3 one from the Apache Commons
Validator project's site:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/validator/downloads.html

Regards,
David

P.S. You should be able to figure out the version of the Apache
commons-validator.jar you are using by extracting that jar file's
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file.   In it, the line beginning with
"Implementation-Version" should tell you what version of the
commons-validator it is using.  For Struts v1.2.4, that line reads:
"Implementation-Version: 1.1.3".

Subject: validator for radio button does not work


the client side validator for radio button does not work for required
validation.

The validation rules check for field.type==radio, but the field.type is
'undefined' when I tried an alert. But field[0].type returned radio. The
validation_rules.xml has field.type==radio check all over. Has anyone
successfully used this. Since radio buttons usually have one selected as
default, this validation may be overlooked. But my requirement specifies
not to have a default for the radio, but a validation that it is required.

Please let me know if I'm missing anything.
Jayaraman
