<title>Apache Cocoon Forms: Validation Rules</title>
<authors>
<person name="The Apache Cocoon Team" email="dev@cocoon.apache.org"/>
</authors>
</header>
<body>
<s1 title="General">
<p>For each validation rule, the failmessage (i.e. the message displayed
to the user in case the validation failed) can be overridden by
specifying
a child <strong>fd:failmessage</strong> element inside the validation
rule element. The
failmessage can contain mixed content. Example:</p>
<source><![CDATA[<fd:datatype base="string">
<fd:validation>
<fd:email>
<fd:failmessage>Not a valid email address!</fd:failmessage>
</fd:email>
</fd:validation>
</fd:datatype>]]></source>
<p>To provide locale-dependent messages, use i18n tags in
combination with the I18nTransformer.</p>
<p>Often the values that validation rules will check are specified as
expressions. CForms uses for this the <link
href="http://xreporter.cocoondev.org/en/expressions.html";>xReporter expression
interpreter</link>.</p>

<s1 title="Description">
<s2 title="assert">
<p>Evaluates the expression specified in the "test" attribute. This
expression
should have a boolean result, it should evaluate to either true or
false.
Example: Suppose there are 2 fields widgets <code>password</code> and
<code>confirmPassword</code>.
We can use assert inside <code>confirmPassword</code> to check if is
equals to <code>password</code> widget:</p>
<source><![CDATA[<fd:assert test="password = confirmPassword">
<fd:failmessage>The two passwords are not equal.</fd:failmessage>
</fd:assert>]]></source>
</s2>
<s2 title="email">
<p>Checks that a value is a valid email address. Example:</p>
<source><![CDATA[<fd:email/>]]></source>
</s2>
<s2 title="length">
<p>Checks the length of strings. This validation rule can take 3
attributes:
min, max and exact. You can use either of these three separately or
min and max together. The values of these attributes are expressions.
Example:</p>
<source><![CDATA[<fd:length min="2" max="4"/>
Another example:
<fd:length exact="2*2">
<fd:failmessage>Must be 4 characters long!</fd:failmessage>
</fd:length>]]></source>
</s2>
<s2 title="mod10">
<p>Uses the "mod10" algorithm used to check the validity of credit
card
numbers such as VISA. This validation rule does not require any
additional
attributes. Example:</p>
<source><![CDATA[<fd:mod10>
<fd:failmessage>Invalid credit card number.</fd:failmessage>
</fd:mod10>]]></source>
</s2>
<s2 title="range">
<p>Checks the numeric range. This validation rule can take 3
attributes:
min, max and exact. You can use either of these three separately or
min and max together. The values of these attributes are expressions.
Example:</p>
<source><![CDATA[<fd:range min="2" max="4"/>
Another example:
<fd:range exact="2*2"/>]]></source>
</s2>
<s2 title="regexp">
<p>Checks that a string matches a regular expression. It requires a
"pattern"
attribute specifying the regexp. The regular expression library used
is
Jakarta ORO, see <link
href="http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/api/org/apache/oro/text/regex/package-summary.html";>here</link>
for some information. Example:</p>
<source><![CDATA[<fd:regexp pattern="[a-z]{3,5}">
<fd:failmessage>Invalid code!</fd:failmessage>
</fd:regexp>]]></source>
</s2>
<s2 title="value-count">
<p>Checks the number of items selected in a multivaluefield.
Again works with min, max and exact attributes. Example:</p>
<source><![CDATA[<fd:value-count min="2" max="4"/>
Another example:
<fd:value-count exact="2"/>]]></source>
