DynaActionForm not getting validated by struts validation plugin
hi there,
I am trying to get a form implementing the DynaValidaForm class to
validate, but the validation doesn't seem to take place at all. There
were a couple of previous threads about this, but none seem to come to a
solution, so I will post the details of my problems here. I really can't
see what i'm doing wrong, perhaps someone else will see something
blindingly obvious that i've missed...
I am using Struts 1.1 (w/ JDK 1.4) using modules. The form I am trying
to validate is called test_searchForm, and is defined in
struts-conf-mymodule.xml as follows:
__________________________________________________________________
<form-bean name="test_searchForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="needle"
type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="column"
type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="table"
type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
__________________________________________________________________
I am using that form in an action which is defined as such:
__________________________________________________________________
<action path="/test_searchTest"
type="sb_nick.search.searchTestAction"
name="test_searchForm"
scope="request"
input="/test_searchTestForm.vm">
<forward name="test_showResults"
path="/test_searchTestResults.vm"
redirect="false"/>
<forward name="test_failure"
path="/test_searchTestForm.vm"
redirect="false"/>
</action>
__________________________________________________________________
(as you might notice, I am also using Velocity for the templates, though
I am having no problems with that)
The relevant part of the sb_nick.search.searchTestAction.java file is as
follows:
__________________________________________________________________
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
// Validate the request parameters specified by the user
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
DynaValidatorForm myres=(DynaValidatorForm)form;
String needle = (String)myres.get("needle");
String column = (String)myres.get("column");
String table = (String)myres.get("table");
//manually validation test
if (needle.length()<1){
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,
new ActionError("test.error_required", "search
string"));
}
// Report any errors we have discovered back to the form
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
saveErrors(request, errors);
return (mapping.getInputForward());
}
__________________________________________________________________
The manual validation part works fine (as in forwarding to the input URI
works and the error message gets passed through), however nothing else
seems to get validated. The validator plugin is enabled, I tried putting
the validator rules and definitions in both the /WEB-INF folder of the
main appliaction and locally to the modules. For the local version, the
struts-config-mymodule.xml file looks as such:
__________________________________________________________________
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames" value="sb_nick-validation.xml,
sb_nick-validator-rules.xml"/>
</plug-in>
__________________________________________________________________
The validation.xml files looks as such:
__________________________________________________________________
<form name="test_searchForm">
<field
property="needle"
depends="required">
</field>
<field
property="column"
depends="required">
<msg name="required" key="test.error_required">
</field>
<field
property="table"
depends="required">
<msg name="required" key="test.error_required">
</field>
__________________________________________________________________
Everything else is as default. What am I doing wrong? I spent the whole
day trying to figure this out but i'm not getting anywhere...
thanks,
Nick

Re: DynaActionForm not getting validated by struts validation plugin
Posted by Jeff Kyser <kt...@comcast.net>.
I can't remember whether validate="true" is default or not,
so I always explicitly add it.
You don't have that in your action mapping.
if the default is 'true', then, sorry, ignore.
