struts2 validation
Hi all!
Been looking all over the net but my validation simply isn't working :(
I have a JSP page with a dropdown box in a form.
I just want to make sure the value in the dropdown box is not empty.
It currently looks like this:
<s:form action=3D"myaction" method=3D"post" validate=3D"true">
<s:actionerror />
<s:fielderror />
<s:select name=3D"fieldName"
id=3D"fieldName"
theme=3D"simple"
size=3D"1"
list=3D"fieldList"
headerKey=3D""
headerValue=3D"- - Please Select - -"/>
<s:submit name=3D"Submit"/>
</s:form>
My setup is that I have an Action class, which uses a Form to set and get f= ield values from the JSP page.
In Struts1 I was using the validate(...) method in the Form class.
It seems none of the Struts2 validation examples on the net are working for= me.
Or I'm not doing it right.
Anyone any ideas how I can do this simply?
Cheers!
nic

If you want validation like in struts1 you can implement the interface
com.opensymphony.xwork2.Validateable in your Action class. The method
validate() is the same as in your struts1 FormBean.
But maybe that's a bit old fashioned :)

Struts2 does not have FormBeans anymore. All the form fields are
instance variables directly in your Action class. Simply include a
variable fieldName of type String with getters and setters in your
Action class. The setFieldName() method will be called when you submit
the form. In the execute() and validate() methods you can use the
fieldName variable directly.
What you can also do is put a instance variable of a bean in your
Action class. You can then acces the getters and setters of this bean
in the jsp:
<s:form action="myaction">
<s:select name="myBeanVariableName.fieldName"
theme="simple"
list="fieldList"
headerKey=""
headerValue="- - Please Select - -"/>
</s:form>
If you submit this form struts will call
myaction.getMyBeanVariableName().setFieldName(selectedValue).

If you don't have an action property named "fieldname" then not only will validation not work but neither will normal property copying (from form to action).
If, for example, you have a MyForm named "form", and has an appropriate getter/setter, its form element would look like this:
<s:textfield name="form.fieldName"/>
If you're handling validation programmatically (via the Validateable interface and the action's validate() method) you'd then validate against the MyForm instance, for example:
public void validate() {
if (StringUtils.isBlank(this.form.getFieldName())) {
...
}
...
}
It sort of seems like you're implementing a bit of ModelDriven, but manually--not a problem, but seems a bit duplicative.

RE: struts2 validation

ps. My post added some "3D" text that isn't supposed to be there ...
Thanks Jeromy.
Yes I do have a <s:head> attribute, maybe not *exactly* but I have:
<s:head theme="ajax" />
Apologies for the confusion.
What I meant in my pevious post was that I had tried a few ways to do this validation task.
In my initial post I had described one of these attempts which I think should have worked.
What I am getting regardless of what sort of validation I try to implement is this error:
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -7
You mentioned the getters and setters for the fieldnames ... this only works though if the fields are stored in the action right?
coz the fields I have aren't stored in the action, they are stored in a Form class.
Ie my action looks something like:
public String execute() {
MyForm myForm = (MyForm)super.form;
String myField = myForm.getFieldName();
}

You haven't mentioned whether you're using XML validation or
annotation-based validation. If by not working you mean "does nothing",
then your XML file is probably incorrectly named or your missing an
annotation. (You need to enable this separately from client-side
validation)
Whatever the case, the main difference between Struts1 and Struts2 here
is that Struts2 performs validation on the Object, not on the form
parameters.
That means, to check that "fieldName" is non-blank, it will call
getFieldName() after setFieldName() was called by the ParametersInterceptor.
A common problem is to forget the getter, but in that case Struts will
keep returning INPUT (validation failed) instead of invoking your action.

Hi Nicole,
This is an action class that does validation of two parameters:
public class SignonAction extends ActionSupport {
private String username;
private String password;
@Override
public String execute() throws Exception {
Map session = null;
boolean authenticated = false;
try {
authenticated = Utils.authenticate(username,password);
} catch(Exception e) {
// Swallow the exception
}
if (authenticated) {
session = ActionContext.getContext().getSession();
User user = new User();
user.setLogin(username);
user.setEmail("set your email");
session.put("loggedIn", user);
return SUCCESS;
} else {
return ERROR;
}
}
@RequiredStringValidator(message="", key = "username.required")
@StringLengthFieldValidator(message = "", key =
"username.invalidLength", minLength = "6" , maxLength = "15")
@RegexFieldValidator(message = "", key = "prompt.invalidCharacters",
expression = "^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$")
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
@RequiredStringValidator(message="", key="password.required")
@StringLengthFieldValidator(message = "", key =
"password.invalidLength", minLength = "6" , maxLength = "15")
@RegexFieldValidator(message = "", key = "prompt.invalidCharacters",
expression = "^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$")
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
}
It uses annotation to validate.
Hope this will help.
Regards.

Re: struts2 validation
Posted by Pierrot52 <pi...@gmail.com>.
Hi Nicole,
This is an action class that does validation of two parameters:
public class SignonAction extends ActionSupport {
private String username;
private String password;
@Override
public String execute() throws Exception {
Map session = null;
boolean authenticated = false;
try {
authenticated = Utils.authenticate(username,password);
} catch(Exception e) {
// Swallow the exception
}
if (authenticated) {
session = ActionContext.getContext().getSession();
User user = new User();
user.setLogin(username);
user.setEmail("set your email");
session.put("loggedIn", user);
return SUCCESS;
} else {
return ERROR;
}
}
@RequiredStringValidator(message="", key = "username.required")
@StringLengthFieldValidator(message = "", key =
"username.invalidLength", minLength = "6" , maxLength = "15")
@RegexFieldValidator(message = "", key = "prompt.invalidCharacters",
expression = "^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$")
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
@RequiredStringValidator(message="", key="password.required")
@StringLengthFieldValidator(message = "", key =
"password.invalidLength", minLength = "6" , maxLength = "15")
@RegexFieldValidator(message = "", key = "prompt.invalidCharacters",
expression = "^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$")
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
}
It uses annotation to validate.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
Pierre
