[ http://jira.andromda.org/browse/BPM-218?page=comments#action_11968 ] Walter Itamar Mourão commented on BPM-218: ------------------------------------------
>> indeed, it seems Struts is designed to only validate primitive >> numeric types Not really. In fact Struts uses the org.apache.commons.beanutil.converters package to convert from one Class to another, String (from the http request) to Long (form attribute) in this case. The default behavior of the converters' classes is setting the value to null if the String cannot be converted. I changed this behavior creating converters classes with configurable error values and validators which check if the conversion error happened. It is important to set the new conversion behavior after the default Struts configuration. To do that I extended the org.apache.struts.config.ControllerConfig class and setted the struts-config (<controller className="app.Config" />) to load the new class. I use this approach a lot, since I don't use primitives in forms. I will attach some files to show the idea. > Long validation is ignored > -------------------------- > > Key: BPM-218 > URL: http://jira.andromda.org/browse/BPM-218 > Project: Bpm4Struts Cartridge > Type: Bug > Reporter: stephane le peutrec > Assignee: Wouter Zoons > Priority: Minor > Attachments: testLong.zip > > The validator "long" doesn't seem to work correctly.
