Re: [Validator] Commons Validator problem
Hi
I am baffled to why the name and resource attributes in the arg and msg
seem not to work in my application. Surely someone has used validator
with a second argument, overridden the default message, or set resource
to false in their configuration. I was thinking that the problem I have
was of my making.
Can someone please tell me why these attributes won't work on my
application? All the information that you will need is below:
Thanks in advance,
David

Re: [Validator] Commons Validator problem
Posted by Aaron Sheffey <AS...@dtcc.com>.
No - you don't need to add anything to the custom validator method.
However, in whatever code you are using to parse your validation results
and display the return messages, you need to 1) grab the custom message
from the field, if there is one, and if not, then to 2) grab the message
from the default list in the properties file. Here's an example:
<> indicates pseudo-code
String message = <the ValidatorResult of the current
property>.getField().getMsg( <the ValidatorAction grabbed from the Map of
the current propery's actions> );
try
{
// If there was no message, grab the default message from the
global resource
if ( message == null ) message = <ResourceBundle>.getString(
action.getMsg() );
}
catch ( Exception e )
{
// log the resource exception here - you should have a message for
every validator method
}

Re: [Validator] Commons Validator problem
Hi,
Thanks for all replies up to now and your patience :).
Here is the validateMinLength method in my custom validator
public static boolean validateMinLength(Object bean, Field field)
{
// Get value that the user has entered.
String value =
ValidatorUtils.getValueAsString(bean, field.getProperty());
// Get the minlength var value from validation.xml
String minLength = field.getVarValue("minlength");
// Convert value to int for minLength() method.
int minValue = Integer.parseInt(minLength);
// Compare value to min length value allowed.
boolean result = GenericValidator.minLength(value,minValue);
return result;
}
I realise that a should be using the formatInt() method to convert the
string to int but if you could ignore that for now.
Should I be reading the resource and name attributes from args and msg
in this method and setting them within a message class to get them work
within my application?
Thanks in advance,
David

Re: [Validator] Commons Validator problem
Posted by David Duff <da...@planetzorbo.co.uk>.
Hi,
Thanks for all replies up to now and your patience :).
Here is the validateMinLength method in my custom validator
public static boolean validateMinLength(Object bean, Field field)
{
// Get value that the user has entered.
String value =
ValidatorUtils.getValueAsString(bean, field.getProperty());
// Get the minlength var value from validation.xml
String minLength = field.getVarValue("minlength");
// Convert value to int for minLength() method.
int minValue = Integer.parseInt(minLength);
// Compare value to min length value allowed.
boolean result = GenericValidator.minLength(value,minValue);
return result;
}
I realise that a should be using the formatInt() method to convert the
string to int but if you could ignore that for now.
Should I be reading the resource and name attributes from args and msg
in this method and setting them within a message class to get them work
within my application?
Thanks in advance,
David

Are you using this with Struts? If so, does the *standard* struts minlength
validator work properly?
