turbine tools - ejb to xml, data validation

[Melanie Philpot <Me...@anite.com>]

Can anyone help with tools for:

1. Getting data from an ejb and putting into xml
2. Validation of form

Thought of using Intake for form validation, however it does not come as a default in my TurbineResources.properties file. There is no description of the service. It is still in use and is it any good? Tips on how to set it up would be most helpful.

RE: turbine tools - ejb to xml, data validation

[David Demner <tu...@demner.com>]

Hi Melanie,

Not sure about the first one, so I can't help you there.

I'm using Intake pretty successfully, although the documentation is a bit
lacking in places and just plain wrong in others.  I know, I know - I should
submit a patch or stop whining ;)

Going through my TurbineResources.properties (which started with the TDK) I
see:

services.IntakeService.classname=org.apache.turbine.services.intake.TurbineI
ntakeService
tool.request.om=org.apache.turbine.om.OMTool
tool.request.intake=org.apache.turbine.services.intake.IntakeTool
services.IntakeService.xml.path=WEB-INF/conf/intake.xml
services.IntakeService.serialize.path=WEB-INF/appData.ser

And then I have an intake.xml, which started from the TDK too as:

<!DOCTYPE input-data SYSTEM "dtd/intake.dtd">
<input-data basePackage="blah.">

	<!-- intake example with the login screen -->
	<group name="Login" key="login">
		<field name="Username" key="username" type="String">
			<rule name="required" value="true">Please enter a
username</rule>
			<rule name="mask" value="^\w{1,20}$">Your username
must be between 1 and 20 characters long and consist only of
letters/numbers</rule>
		</field> 
		<field name="Password" key="password" type="String">
			<rule name="required" value="true">Please enter a
password</rule>
			<rule name="minLength" value="4">The password you
entered was too short, please try again.</rule>
		</field>
	</group>
</input-data>

So playing around with these should get you going.

There's a thread at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=turbine-user&m=108135151011107&w=2 on using
commons-validator instead of intake, but I've never tried it.

There are some docs at
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2.3/howto/intake-howto.html but
again, it's a little unclear in places.

Good luck,

DAvid
