Validating nested, indexed properties
Hi
I would like to validate some nested, indexed properties on my form.
I've googled and found someone having similar problems, but haven't
found a solution yet. Any help would be great.
The form contains a list of Job objects, each having a set of
properties, let's say number and size. I tried to define the
validation like this:
<field property="number" indexedListProperty="jobs" depends="integer">
<arg0 key="absence.label.unitOfAbsence"/>
</field>
<field property="size" indexedListProperty="jobs" depends="integer">
<arg0 key="absence.label.scale"/>
</field>
This does not work, although as far as I can tell, this is how the
documentation recommends using it.
However, in the jsp, the values are collected using the nested tag,
not the logic/bean tags.
<nested:iterate property="jobs">
<nested:text property="number"/>
<nested:text property="size"/>
</nested:iterate>
Would this interfere with the validation, or are the two tags
identical when it comes to validation?
I'm using Struts 1.1.

I should probably slap myself now. This works just fine, if the
struts-config doesn't turn validation off. :)

I mean that when I input characters in an integer-only field, the
validation is not triggered, the values are just set on the form.
However, I have tried to dig a bit more into this, and have looked at
the html generated. And it looks like it might have something todo
with the fact that we are running struts inside a portal. The plain
form attributes are prefixed with a string by the portal, but the
attributes defined using nested, are not. The odd thing though, is
that the values do get to the form, they just don't seem to be
validated. Does the Validator reference the form attributes in a
different way then the form population?
Any ideas?

What do you mean when you say it doesn't work?
I compared your code with something I have that's working and they
look pretty much the same. I have a form with a list of employees,
and each employee has fields such as "birth".
The HTML form looks something like this:
<nested:iterate property="employees">
<nested:text property="birth" size="10" maxlength="10"/>
<nested:text property="ssNumber" size="9" maxlength="9"/>
<nested:text property="salary" size="12"/>
</TR>
</nested:iterate>
Validation rules look like this:
<field property="birth" indexedListProperty="employees"
depends="required,date">
<arg0 key="employeeform.birth.displayname"/>
<var>
<var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name>
<var-value>MM/dd/yyyy</var-value>
</var>
</field>
<field property="ssNumber" indexedListProperty="employees"
depends="required,integer">
<arg0 key="employeeform.ssnumber.displayname"/>
</field>
<field property="salary" indexedListProperty="employees"
depends="required,mask">
<arg0 key="employeeform.salary.displayname"/>
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>^\$?\d+(,\d{3})*(\.\d{2})?$</var-value>
</var>
</field>
This app is using Struts 1.2, though. If you want to try it out, it's
available at http://www.rabago.net/struts/formdef/dev/nested.war .
It's using FormDef (which is a Struts plugin) but FormDef doesn't
affect validation, so the same rules apply. Using nested tags also
don't affect validation. In fact, you could use plain old HTML tags
and still use Validator, as long as you name your fields correctly
and/or populate your form beans properly.

I would not "actionforward", I would just get a servlet context, and
redirect....

The following will work:
new ActionForward("http://www.google.com", true);
