xhtml form-close-validate.ftl template has incorrect regex validation ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-1419 URL: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-1419 Project: Struts 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Views Affects Versions: 2.0.0 Reporter: Josh Foure In the template/xhtml/form-close-validate.ftl template, this is the code for the regex validation: if (field.value != null && !field.value.match("${validator.expression?js_string}")==null) { addError(field, error); errors = true; } Either the exclamation point in front of "field.value.match(...)" should be removed or the "==null" after the match call should be removed. The problem with having the "!" and the "==null" is that the left side will evaluate to a boolean but any boolean compared to null is false. This is what the code looks like in WebWorks 2.2.3 (they don't have the "==null"): if (field.value != null && !field.value.match("${validator.expression?js_string}")) { addError(field, error); errors = true; } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/struts/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
