help please: Validator basic use

["Clayson, Jim" <Ji...@centrica.co.uk>]

Hi I am attempting to use the date validation provided by the framework - I
am using struts1.1b2.

I think I must be missing something fairly fundamental but maybe someone
will be able to confirm what that is. The problem is when I enter garbage
into the form's date fields and submit them, I get no errors. How does one
usually display the errors when using the validator framework.

I have my validator-rules.xml and validation.xml config files in my
application's web-inf dir.

Their relevent contents are as follows:

validator-rules.xml

      <validator name="date"
            classname="org.apache.struts.util.StrutsValidator"
               method="validateDate"
         methodParams="java.lang.Object,
                       org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
                       org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
                       org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
                       javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
              depends="required"
                  msg="errors.date"
       jsFunctionName="DateValidations">

         <javascript><![CDATA[
            function validateDate(form) {
	....... etc

                return true;
            }]]>
         </javascript>

      </validator>

 and validation.xml:

   <formset>
      <form name="ReportForm">
         <field property="dateFrom" depends="date">
         	     <arg0 key="ReportForm.dateFrom"/>
         </field>    
         <field property="dateTo" depends="date">
         	     <arg0 key="ReportForm.dateTo"/>
         </field>
      </form>
   </formset>   

I have my action's validate attribute set to "true".

Are the above setup correctly?

Thanks
Jim

Is your form derived from ValidatorForm rather than ActionForm?
