AJAX Validation
Hi everybody,
I'm currently working on a project based on Struts 2.0.11. We're planning to
migrate to the last 2.1.x version but I've just seen that the Dojo plugin
has been deprecating. Consequently, what's your recommandation to perform
proper AJAX validation since the example on the Wiki is still based on the
Dojo plugin ? Which plugin will be the next standard for Ajax tags in Struts
2 ? JQuery plugin ?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Regards,
Nicolas

I’ve seen others use a customised version of DWR in combination with
annotations. We looked at it to the point of almost going with it but in the
end the decision was made it wasn’t worth the effort.
We have little in the way of duplication. The approach we took was to be all
nice-nice on the JS validation with regards to client feedback and then be
more abrupt on the server side as we could assume that if the client side
validation failed, either somebody was doing something they shouldn’t be or
something had gone wrong in a big way. If server side validation failed on
items that JS had supposedly validated we just threw the user to an error
page.
I like the looks of the JSONValidation Interceptor, but I’m just a little
concerned about the number of round trips. It looks like each form
submission occurs twice, once for validation via ajax and a second regular
HTTP request after.

No, this is different. When I started this one (many moons ago), I
knew of at least a few other plugins, but they were concentrating on
adding widgets and other eye candy. I decided to take this and work on
form submission with validation, then add eye candy later. The recent
release announced on dev is the reason why I mentioned that my plugin
is awaiting future direction. I only pointed to it because it provides
some examples of how to do the ajax form processing with validation.

Dale, I've never looked into that, but it's a valid point, why don't
you put in a JIRA. I think it would be pretty easy to say something
like - hey, if this is a multipart/form-data encoding type, let's take
a different course of action.

There is an interceptor called JSONValidation (or something like
that). If you cruise to the bottom of this page, you will see an
example of using it with Prototype -
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/ajax-validation.html
I started a JQuery plugin that is sitting in the sandbox right now
waiting for some direction, but I used this technique and if you're
willing to wade through some code you can see how to use the
JSONValidator in a very struts-y way. Also, there is a showcase where
I put examples of AJAX form handling (with validation).

Re: AJAX Validation
Posted by Zoran Avtarovski <zo...@sparecreative.com>.
It depends on the approach you want to take in validation.
For security reasons we run two layers of validation, a simple model using
jQuery checking mandatory fields and limits checks and then a more rigorous
model server side.
As for setting up, we looked at how it was done with S2 and dojo, in the end
we found it it much easier just to program directly when creating the form
pages. Because of the powerful selectors in jQuery and judicious use of
listeners we¹ve had no issue with maintenance of code and we¹ve been able to
leverage a range of plugins available for jQuery.
Originally we tried to have the scripts created automagically through
programming, but in the end it wasn¹t worth the effort. We¹ve extended the
CSS and XHTML templates to accommodate some time saving features but on the
whole there wasn¹t much to it.
I now find it quicker to setup the validation directly rather than setting
up the XML files. It¹s amazing what can be achieved with a few well placed
s:if tags and some JS code.

Re: AJAX Validation
Posted by Nicolas Baron <nb...@octo.com>.
Hi Zoran,
Thank you for your answer. Since you are using JQuery directly, how do you
perform data validation ? Is it possible to use the XML Files or annotations
provided by Struts ?
Cheers,
Nicolas

Honestly though, I¹d take the opportunity move away from an integrated
solution to using a javascript framework directly.
We use jQuery and it integrates with Struts without any major issues and
more often than not offers much greater flexibility. I know of others who
use dojo, mootools and prototype without any issues.
