Hi Prashanth,
I have done this using the Struts validator. I use the mask rule as follows: <form name="serviceProviderForm"> <field property="URL" depends="required,mask"> <msg name="mask" key="error.invalid.ServiceProviderURL"/> <arg0 key="serviceProvider.url"/> <var> <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>^http:\/\/[^ ]*$</var-value> </var> </field> </form> There are great examples of using the validator in the Struts distribution. With this my code need not be concerned with the validity of the url string and is check by the validation framework on both client side(JavaScript) and server side and I only worry about errors obtaining a connection to the supplied url. Cheers, Greg -----Original Message----- From: Prashanth.S [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 9:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: URL validation with struts???
