acessing form values in validation.xml

[Sivaswamynatha K <k....@Kavniya.com>]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to access the form variables in the validation.xml file.
I am using Struts 1.2.9

Ie. I have a requirement to enter the year field between 1800 to current
year + years.

 

In validation.xml

<field property="builtYear" depends="mask,validwhen">

<msg resource="true" key="errors.builtYear" name="validwhen" />

      <msg resource="true" key="errors.mask" name="mask" />

      <arg position="0" key="label.mortgageinfo.builtyear" />

????<arg position="1" ?/>                       

                        

      <var>

            <var-name>mask</var-name>

            <var-value>${year}</var-value>

      </var>

      <var>

            <var-name>test</var-name>

            <var-value>((builtYear == null) or ((builtYear >1800) and
(builtYear &lt; futureYear)))</var-value>

      </var>                        

</field>

 

I set the value of futureYear is action and it changes according to the
current year. The validation is fine. Now I want to show the error
message when the validation fails.

The error is just like 

'The built year ranges between 1800 and <customizedvalue>'

 

In message resources 

errors.builtYear= The {0}  ranges between 1800 and {1}

K. Siva.

So what's your question? How to pass in a value for {1}? i.e. what to 
put for the <arg> tag with position="1"? You just need to pass the value 
of futureYear, no?

   <arg position="1" ressource="false" key="futureYear"/>

or possibly key="formName.futureYear" or something, I'm not sure if it 
needs to be fully qualified or not.
