how to validate when the form-property is of type="java.lang.String[]"

Hi, 
I have a problem using validatorplugin for multiselection box.
my filed is of type <form-property name="departments"
type="java.lang.String[]" />

I can't validate when the form-property is of type="java.lang.String[]" 

I have the validation working correctly when form-property is of
type="java.lang.String".  I can't however validate when the
form-property is of type="java.lang.String[]".

any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mallik

Hi,

So...how are you putting them on the form. I assume you some form of
iterative tag to put them on a form. There is probably a better
solution, but you could write a custom validator, or validate() method
to do what you want. I had to do this for a similar situation, but I
had at least 2 levels of arrays to traverse. I seem to remember
thinking I could solve it with just one level array to deal with. Also
the validation was a little complex.

mvg,

My problem is not accessing the values but is with validator.
I have the validation working correctly if within the
struts-config.xml file the form-property type="java.lang.String"

My issue is that I can't validate when the form-property is of
type="java.lang.String[]" (I can't validate the form-property
departments in the example listed below).  Do I need to include
something in the validation.xml that indicates I am working with
type="java.lang.String[]"

struts-config.xml:

     <form-bean name="empForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
        <form-property name="departments" type="java.lang.String[]" />
        <form-property name="city" type="java.lang.String" />
     </form-bean>

validation.xml:

    <form name="empForm">
            <field property="departments" depends="required">
                   <arg0 key="departments.req"/>
            </field>
           <field property="city" depends="required">
                   <arg0 key="city.req"/>
           </field>
    </form>

Again, I have the validation working correctly when form-property is
of type="java.lang.String".  I can't however validate when the
form-property is of type="java.lang.String[]".

What exactly is the problem you're having? Normally I'd say you'd loop 
through the array of values passed in thru the form bean
