struts tiles and validator framework

[Madhav Bhargava <un...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I am using struts tiles for laying out all the pages. I am wondering how i
can use struts client validator framework with struts tiles.
The validation.xml file requires form name and then within the form tag we
define the individual fields along with the respective validations.

Since i am using struts tiles there is always going to be one form. How can
i then use these 2 together?

Any help/guidence will be appreciated.

The problem is that the validator framework and Tiles do not work 
together! You should see the validator framework as it works on the 
composed page, and not on each "tile".
Anyway, even if you don't use validator, each field in an html form 
should be uniquely named.

Does it answer your question?

Let me elaborate my problem and the reason i have posted this to this list:

I am using tiles with JSF. So i have just one layout.jsp. This file has the
<form> tag and other JSP's just get inserted into the respective place
holders.

All of this works just fine. The problem comes when i am trying to use
Struts client side validator framework along with the combination of tiles +
JSF. In the validator framework  - validation.xml file will require a form
name and then all the fields and their respective validations.

Will this mean that if there are 40 different forms that use the same layout
tile will need to have fields uniquely named? I thought this was a big ask
and therefore wanted to know how tiles and struts validator framework work
together.

Thanks for the reply.

Wait a moment, what's the connection between Tiles and the use of only 
one form? That's not true.
Probably you wanted to say that you have one form and the fields of that 
form is spread across different JSP pages, right?
In this case probably you have to create a big big ActionForm that 
contains all fields, or create one ActionForm for each resulting page.
Anyway I don't know Validator very well, so maybe someone else can help 
you more than me.

Ciao
Antonio
