RE: how to validate when the form-property is of type="java.lang. String[]"

[Ch...@astrazeneca.com]

Hi Mallik,

	Use a collection of String instead of an array of String. And in the
validation.xml file add the "indexedListProperty" field such like this :

struts-config.xml:

     <form-bean name="empForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
        <form-property name="departments" type="java.util.Collection" />
        <form-property name="city" type="java.lang.String" />
     </form-bean>

validation.xml:

    <form name="empForm">
            <field property="departments" depends="required"
				indexedListProperty="java.lang.String">
                   <arg0 key="departments.req"/>
            </field>
           <field property="city" depends="required">
                   <arg0 key="city.req"/>
           </field>
    </form>

My problem is not accessing the values but is with validator.
I have the validation working correctly if within the
struts-config.xml file the form-property type="java.lang.String"

My issue is that I can't validate when the form-property is of
type="java.lang.String[]" (I can't validate the form-property
departments in the example listed below).  Do I need to include
something in the validation.xml that indicates I am working with
type="java.lang.String[]"

struts-config.xml:

     <form-bean name="empForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
        <form-property name="departments" type="java.lang.String[]" />
        <form-property name="city" type="java.lang.String" />
     </form-bean>

validation.xml:

    <form name="empForm">
            <field property="departments" depends="required">
                   <arg0 key="departments.req"/>
            </field>
           <field property="city" depends="required">
                   <arg0 key="city.req"/>
           </field>
    </form>

Again, I have the validation working correctly when form-property is
of type="java.lang.String".  I can't however validate when the
form-property is of type="java.lang.String[]".
