Conditional validation in Struts.

["Peter L. Berghold" <pe...@berghold.net>]

Consider the following sniglet from my validation.xml:

<field property="nonmember_dropin_rate_rq" depends="requiredif">
<arg0 key="label.nonmember_dropin_rate"/>
<var>
<var-name>field[0]</var-name>
<var-value>dropins_allowed_rq</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>fieldTest[0]</var-name>
<var-value>EQUALS</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>fieldValue[0]</var-name>
<var-value>on</var-value>
</var>
</field>

What I'm trying to accomplish is if the checkbox dropins_allowed_rq is
checked then I want to consider the text field nonmember_dropin_rate_rq
as a required field, otherwise ignore it. 

I've tried a few different variants and none have worked.  Pointers
anybody? 

(all my other validation works)

What version of Struts are you using? IIRC requiredif
was deprecated immediately after 1.1 (I just checked;
see doc link below) in favor of validwhen.

That said, if "on" is the value of the checked box
(and, perhaps, it's a java.lang.String) I would have
thought what you had there was correct :/

http://struts.apache.org/1.1/userGuide/dev_validator.html

BTW, links to version 1.1 seem to be somewhat hosed; I
had to play around a bit to get there.
