Complex Validation with validwhen and large condition
Hi all,
I'm having some issues getting validwhen to perform the way I want
it to. I would like the following general functionality.
1. The user can input an aseAddress.
2. The address as a whole is nullable, however if they fill in any of
the fields, they must filling ALL of the address fields.
Here are my properties
aseAddress.addressLine1
aseAddress.addressLine2
aseAddress.city
aseAddress.state
aseAddress.zip
aseAddress.zip4
aseAddress.country
addressLine2 and zip4 are not required. However, if any field in the
list above contains data, then all of the fields except for
addressLine2 and zip4 are required.
Here is an example contition I have tried, but I contantly get that
the fields are required, even when they are all empty. If anyone who
has a better way, please let me know.
<field property="aseAddress.addressLine1" depends="validwhen, mask">
<arg0 key="prompt.common.addressLine1" />
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>${allvalid}</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>
(
(
(
(
(
(
(*this* != null)
and (aseAddress.addressLine2 != null)
) and (aseAddress.city != null)
) and (aseAddress.state != null)
) and (aseAddress.postalCode4 != null)
) and (aseAddress.country != null)
) and (aseAddress.postalCode != null)
)
</var-value>
</var>
</field>

Thanks Niall, that took care of it. We just had to convert the ANDs
and ORs to lower case to conform to the grammer.

The condition you have specified means that addressLine1 is only valid when
everything is not null. Thats why you always get the error - you need an OR
condition. In order to get appropriate "required" messages for the various
fields, how about something along the following lines....
<field property="addressLine1">
<var> <var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>( (this != null) OR (
(addressLine2 == null) AND
((city == null) AND
((state == null) AND
((zip == null) AND
((zip4 == null) AND
(country == null))))))
</var-value>
</var>
</field>
<field property="city">
<var> <var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>((this != null) OR (addressLine1 == null))</var-value>
</var>
</field>
<field property="state">
<var> <var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>((this != null) OR (addressLine1 == null))</var-value>
</var>
</field>
<field property="zip">
<var> <var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>((this != null) OR (addressLine1 == null))</var-value>
</var>
</field>
<field property="country">
<var> <var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>((this != null) OR (addressLine1 == null))</var-value>
</var>
</field>
