ValidatorActionForm & JavaScript validateXXX() function name

[Rémy Giard <rg...@cogiscan.com>]

Hi all,

We have been using the ValidatorActionForm to validate a form for a specific
action. The action called when submitting the form is "/config/Save". This
has been defined in the struts-config.xml and validation.xml files.

Server-side validation works properly and the JavaScript is generated when
we add the <html:javascript formName="/config/Save"> tag in the jsp. The
only problem is the name of the validation method:  "function
validate/config/Save(form)".  This is not a proper function name in
JavaScript.

We have traced the source of the defect in
JavascriptValidatorTag.getJavascriptBegin(). A better name for the method
would be "validateConfigSave" -- removing any "/" and capitalizing the
following letter.

Any opinions?

For now, we did not activate client-side validation.

Thanks

I'm having the same problem --- did you ever get this resolved ?

None of the documentation even indicates that the javascript tag can 
reference an action path rather than an action name for the formName. It may 
be that client-side validation only works in conjunction with server-side 
valiation when using ValidatorForm (or DynaValidatorForm) and does not work 
in conjunction with ValidatorActionForm (or DynaValidatorActionForm).

Any validation gurus out there know the answer to this ?
