ValidatorForm map values problem

[Michael Kastner <ka...@galt.de>]

Hello,

this problem has been bugging me for days now. Maybe somebody can help 
me with this.

I've created a class named InvoiceEditForm extending ValidatorForm. It 
contains a couple of fields amongs which are two fields which need to be 
validated on proper user input.

One is an integer the other one is a simple string. Sounds like a piece 
of cake, right?

So, I can enter the values, they are properly validated, but then ...

... when I try to get the values with getResultValueMap() only the 
userId value is available. When I iterate throug the map's keys then 
invoiceNr is simply not there.

However, when I replace "mask" in the "required" attribute with integer 
for the invoiceNr property, then suddenly (tada !!!!) invoiceNr is 
available via the proper key and as an integer.

But that's not what I want. I don't want to invoiceNr as an integer but 
as a String.

Furthermore, I also have field named "amount". This is being validated 
against the local currency format. This is being done in the overriding 
the validate method. The validate value is put into the resultValueMap 
by using getResultValueMap(). But even though key an value are being put 
into the map, they don't appear when I call them in my Action.


Maybe someone has clue. Below the form section of my validation.xml is 
listed.

Thanks to anyone reading this.

Form section in my validation file looks like this:

<form name="invoiceEditForm">
   <field
     property="userId"
     depends="required,integer">
       <msg
         name="required"
         key="invoiceeditform.error.userid.required"/>
       <msg
         name="integer"
         key="invoiceeditform.error.userid.required"/>
   </field>
   <field
     property="invoiceNr"
     depends="required,mask">
     <msg
       name="required"
       key="invoiceeditform.error.invoicenr.required"/>
       <msg
         name="mask"
         key="invoiceeditform.error.invoicenr.required"/> 

       <var>
         <var-name>mask</var-name>
         <var-value>^[0-9a-zA-Z]*$</var-value>
       </var>
     </field>
</form>
