Hi Alberto,
I had the same problem...
I resolved it adding the "<form-validation>" element as the "root
element" of the validation.xml file.
Note that the dbforms guide gives the following information (page 91):
--- cut here --- --- cut here --- --- cut here ---
14.5. Building the Validation.xml file
In a previous section, we defined that our (dbform) form would be
associated to an [entry] called 'bugs'. The 'bugs' form contained a
single textField entry (referring to 'title'). Let's take a look at the
resulting Validation.xml file:
<formset>
<form name="bugs">
<field property="title" depends="required,mask,maxlength">
<msg name="required" key="errors.required" resource="true"/>
<arg0 name="required" key="bugsForm.title.displayname" resource="true"/>
<msg name="mask" key="bugsForm.error.title.mask" resource="true"/>
<msg name="maxlength" key="errors.maxlength" resource="true"/>
<arg0 name="maxlength" key="bugsForm.title.displayname"
resource="true"/>
<arg1 name="maxlength" key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false"/>
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>^[A-Z][A-Za-z0-9\s]*$</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>maxlength</var-name>
<var-value>10</var-value>
</var>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
--- cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ---
I follow this example to set up the DbForms validation features, and it
didn't work.
Then I watched the validation.xml of the bugtracker example and I
noticed that it starts with:
<form-validation>
<global>
...
<formset>
...
So, I simply added the <form-validation> element to the configuration
taken from the dbforms guide example.
The validation framework now works.
