validation doesn't validate
I can't get the validation framework to do anything.
I'm speculating that the validation.xml file isn't being read; I tried
putting a rule that doesn't exist and then some arbitrary syntactically
incorrect text in the file, and I didn't get an error anywhere I could
find. On the other hand, there is a message like this:
INFO: Loading validation rules file from '/WEB-INF/validation.xml'
in the console log. And no errors. No errors in the localhost_log,
either. So maybe it *is* reading the validation file.
My form bean name matches my validation form name, which matches the
name in my action mapping. I have validate=true in my action mapping.
I have a validation rule defined for a field on the form. (Two,
actually: required and integer.) Nothing.
I'm using a DynaValidatorActionForm, in case that matters. Oh, and this
is RC1 of 1.1 running in tomcat 4.1.
Help! I'm sure this is a common problem, and I'll be embarassed when I
learn what it is, but I'm stuck.
Thanks,
-- Mike

Sounds like you made the same mistake as me, not reading the Javadoc for
DynaValidatorActionForm properly. To use this you specify the action
mapping PATH in the validation xml form tag, not the name. If you want
to specify validation against your form-bean names, then use
DynaValidationForm, not DynaValidationACTIONForm.

OK, so I switched to the DynaValidatorForm. Still no joy. There is
something I can't explain, though. I stuck this in my action code:
DynaValidatorForm f = (DynaValidatorForm)form;
System.out.println("??????????" + f.getClass().getName());
And it prints out "org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorActionForm".
I double-checked my form-bean in my struts-config, and I definitely have
the DynaValidatorForm in there. I reloaded the app. It still says
DynaValidatorActionForm. I tried stopping tomcat and restarting it. I
tried changing the form bean to some bogus class, and it exploded when I
loaded that page (as I expected). I changed the class back to
DynaValidatorForm, but STILL the action says it's being passes a
DynaValidatorActionForm.
Thanks,
Mike

You need to use DynaValidatorForm.
