Server side RegExp validation fails yet client side works (using DynaValidatorForm)
I'm currently using the Struts 1.1b version. I have a
problem where I define a simple form with a single
field; I need to have the field validated using
"required", "minlength" and "mask" validation
operators. I'm using DynaValidatorForm's to avoid the
overhead of implementing a concrete ActionForm class.
When the client-side validation tags are inserted into
the JSP file, all three (client-side) validation
operators work perfectly.
I commented out the <html:javascript> code and
onsubmit handler in the JSP file to test the server
side validation. (Is there an easier way?)
When I did this, the server side only validated with
the "required" and "minlength" validators...it seemed
to totally disregard the "mask" validation operation.
I searched all of the FAQ's and google search result
sets and couldn't find anything quite like this...
Has anybody else experienced this? Am I missing
something?
(I realize that the regular expression I'm using
evaluates to digits only and that I could try using an
existing validation like "int". I found, however, that
the client side (javascript) implementation of
parseInt() is not what I'm looking for since "12fga"
will "pass" the parseInt() call)
Thank you for looking at my problem!
Here are the details; I'm using the un-modified
version of validator-rules.xml that shipped with the
struts1.1b jar file.
Here are the other files:

characters.

Posted by Chris Trawick <ct...@cultured.net>.
Knowing this isn't helping, I'm having the same problem only it doesn't even
get to the minlength validation. Only the required. My descriptors are
XDoclet generated. Struts 1.1b2, JBoss 3.0.4 (Jetty), XDoclet 1.2.0. If
anyone figures this out, please let us know.
