multiple message resources and validator
Hi,
following on from my previous email about multiple message resource
files, it looks like the validator doesn't support multiple message
resource bundles.
I found this workaround
http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/Dynaform/index-7.html
An alternative is to assemble a single ApplicationResources.properties
from the individual message files.
Is there any plan to modify the validator to support multiple message
resources?
cheers
Nathan

Well, it's somewhere between what Niall described and what Nathan is
looking for. FormDef's primary purpose (and the biggest itch I wanted
it to scratch) was defining form beans based on existing POJOs.
Basically, I got tired creating string-ified versions of my business
objects. The form beans it defines can be used like any other form
beans, except you don't have to specify all your fields if your POJO
already defines them.
Once I was defining action forms from POJOs, the next step was conversion.
After that, I thought it'd make sense maintaining the form definition,
conversion, and validation all in one file, so I added code to support
that.

I don't - Hubert Rabago has an extension (called FormDef) which combines the
form definition part of Struts config with the validation config - it also
does some neat stuff on conversion. You might like to have a look at that:
https://formdef.dev.java.net/
I don't think its the nirvana you're looking for but maybe its a step in the
right direction.

Re: multiple message resources and validator
Posted by Nathan Coast <na...@codeczar.com>.
great stuff, thanks Niall,
seeing as you're obviously fairly involved with struts and validator,
you might be able to answer this for me.....
I've been thinking that much of the struts related artifacts could be
generated from a number of models. I have dug around a fair bit but not
found anything that looks like what I'm thinking.
a data model - describes your entities (or whatever you choose to call
them), describes their properties and validations required for each
property. The data model could also contain internationalised labels
for entities and properties.
a form model - describes the fields of your forms with individual fields
referencing entity properties in your data model, possibly describing
whether that field needs validating, possibly overriding the validation
for an individual field.
ActionForms, validations.xml, jsps and message resources could in theory
be generated by combining these two models.
the next step would be to generate your db schema, entity beans, jdo,
hibernate, ibatis, whatever..... from your data model and then take the
rest of the week off.
My question is.... know of anyone who's working on something like this?
cheers
Nathan

Its on my todo list, but unfortunately I haven't had much time recently.
The first part of resolving this was some minor changes to Commons
Validator - those I've done and released in Validator version 1.1.4 just
before Christmas. The second part is to then modify Struts - that bit I'm
hoping to get round to in the next week or two.
