Server side Validation
Hello. I'm using the Validator framework to validate user input and I'm having some problems. I've configured my form validation in the correct file. The Javascript validation works fine but when I disable javascript validation to see the server side validation behavior, I have the error messages but without the field that generate the error, like this: The field is required. Inside the it was suposed to be the name that I configure in ApplicationResources. How can Javascript validation works fine and server side doesn't? Thanks, JP

Re: Regarding Server Side Validation in Struts
Hi! My $0.02 on this. As a design, it is best if we let the db throw exception and we handle it using ActionError/ActionMessage in the Action file. I feel it is better that way. Then, you can formulate the page using html:errors/ and the application.resources . This is my understanding. I am willing to learn though.

server-side validation with Validator
OK, I have to admit, I'm a bit confused using Validator, despite looking at the online docs having Ted's excellent book at hand. I have everything setup to do server-side validation, as far as I can tell ... I've set a breakpoint in DynaValidatorActionForm.validate and it is getting called ... to test if the validation is working, I've disabled the JavaScript validation by removing the onsubmit call for my html:form element ... fine, now I can submit non-valid data. However, I keep getting to my Action, instead of being shunted back to the input page. My input page is defined as a tile definition, here's what my struts-config.xml looks like (for that section): action path=/US/garden/resources/orangeThumbApply type=com.fiskars.struts.actions.OrangeThumbSaveData name=orangeThumbApp scope=request validate=true input=garden.orangeThumbForm forward name=success path=garden.orangeThumbThankyou/ /action Does anyone see anything wrong here? To test the validation, I've left out a required field and I've entered a text string for a numeric (short) value. My JavaScript validation seems to be working like a champ, but the server-side stuff seems MIA, even though its being called. TIA -- Brice D.

Validator: Unwanted Client side AND Server side validation
Hi, When using client side validation the form is submitted regardless of Javascript validation check occuring (After clicking OK on the Javascript popup warning following an error the form get submitted anyway). I used validation already without this behaviour to occur ... I must be misconfiguring something but cannot find out what it is. Validation works as expected Server side. I am using Struts 1.1 with the bundled Validator together with Scaffold 1_0. Any idea welcome, Patrick - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Validator: Unwanted Client side AND Server side validation
Make sure you you have the return statement in the onsubmit handler. Otherwise it will always submit the form. It needs to look like this: onsubmit=return validateFooForm(this) If that's not the problem, you may be trying to validate using an incorrect field name. That's happened to me a few times. -Andy -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 5:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Validator: Unwanted Client side AND Server side validation Hi, When using client side validation the form is submitted regardless of Javascript validation check occuring (After clicking OK on the Javascript popup warning following an error the form get submitted anyway).

Server side Validation without exclusively submitting the Submit button
Hi, I am having multiple JSP pages and these will appear in only one page after rendering using CSS.There is a left pane which will look like tabs(basically these are links) and these tabs act as hyperlinks to view that particular page on the right hand side i.e., for ex when u click on tab A ,A.JSP will appear hand side . Now the requirement is , I will have to validate each form ( JSP) on the server side and as we are using Struts framework, how will I validate these forms when I swicth between tabs.As everything rests with the controller, can we have a mechanism to validate these forms when I switch between tabs. Right now each of these tabs are action classes and they have an associated form classes. Can anyone please let me know how can go about validating the present form when I try to switch to switch to other tab??? Thanks in advance... Cheers... Venkat
Server side Validation Problems
Dear Struts users,
I have done a simple web-app using validator framework.
the JavaScript validations are proper.But in the server side
validations, i have problems.
Only,the 'required','minlength''maxlength' validations are
working.Rest other validators have no effect even though, i have
used them in the validation.xml file.
eg- validate email-address has no effect even if i enter a
invalid address.
In javascript validations, if I enter a invalid email-id , I am
getting a error,whereas in server side there is no error shown.
Here is my validation.xml file .
form-validation
formset
formname=registrationForm
fieldproperty=username
depends=required,mask,minlength
msg name=mask
key=loginform.username.invalid/
arg0 key=loginform.username.displayname/
arg1 name=minlength key=${var:minlength}
resource=false/
var
var-namemask/var-name
var-value^\w+$/var-value

Adding server-side validation when using DispatchAction

Re: Adding server-side validation when using DispatchAction
You need to use either DynaValidatorForm or DynaValidatorActionForm for the Struts validator to work. If you've already configured the validations in the xml files then all you should need to do is use the right Dyna classes. David Ok, maybe I don't understand the Validator system well yet.

the pop window is already open.. 1000 times.. i really should read before barking the question was how to validate and then close it... if there's and error then the function isn't called if all okay it is... i personally don't like send js via the response but I answered the question with something that works...

server side validation validate all fields?
Hello, I have a question about the server side validation implemented by 'beta3'. When it kicks in, it validates all the fields of the form even though some fields I didn't ask for validation in my validation.xml.

RE: Is Server Side Validation Working in Struts 1.1 Beta 3?
I've used it and it works fine. What you have below should be sufficient for disabling client-side validation. An even easier way is to turn off Javascript on your browser (easy in Mozilla or Phoenix, harder in IE). One think to make sure of is that the input value is set on your action-mapping. If the input refers to a forward name, make sure and set inputForward=true on your controller element: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/configuration.html#controller_con fig Also, I recently discovered that client-side validation fails if you don't have all the validator *required* fields on your form. Server-side still works in this case.

RE: Struts validating with beta2 not working for server-side validation
I can contribute a tiny bit to this issue. I had the same server-side
validation problem and tried to use the debugger on it. I couldn't figure
out what version of the src to use with the struts 1.1b2 commons-validator
jar, so I just got the latest commons-validator src release and built it
myself. Once I started using this new jar, validation works almost
correctly. My simple example works, but the message key isn't resolved.
Instead I get ???en_US.cam.form1.error.key1???. That's the right key
except for the prepended locale stuff.
I haven't looked at the source code carefully, but I think Bens' concern
isn't a problem. The ActionErrors instance is passed to the initValidator()
method. The validator then holds on to that ref and populates it as
necessary. This is all just speculation, though. I know the code works.

I too haven't been able to get server-side validation to work. Although I
have been using a different release. When I use validator-1.0 from

Subject: Struts validating with beta2 not working for server-side

Hi All!
When I switch from client-side to server-side validation, the
validation is
not effected. Now I called super.validate(..) in the validate(..)
method of
my formbean (derived from ValidatorForm) and logged out
errors.size() which
turned out to be 0, apparently indicating that my errors Object is
empty. I
further checked the ValidatorForm.validate(..) method of the latest
nightly
build and saw this code...
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request) {
ServletContext application =
getServlet().getServletContext();
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
Validator validator =
Resources.initValidator(mapping.getAttribute(),
this,
application, request,
errors, page);
try {
validatorResults = validator.validate();
} catch (ValidatorException e) {
log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
}
return errors;
}
What I don't understand is the errors Object is returned, but I
don't see
when it is filled with the validation results. Is it likely there is
a bug
in here?

I had the client-side validation working under struts version before the
beta 2. Now my application has been migrated to the beta 2 of struts. Since
then, my client-side validation is no longer working. I understand the
validating logic has been adopted into commons. Can some tell me what is

Betreff: RE: Re: OptionsCollection
Hi,
There are many ways of doing this.So first is as the collection is being
displayed on screen,make it an attribute of form and popolate it in action
on
form.So in jsp u will access like a form attribute.
But the problem with this approach is If u get an error and forward back
the
user to same jsp, u loose the collection data as u are directly going to
the
screen.So the solution could be have a generic action which will be called
in
case of errors and the action will populate form with list before
forwarding
it
to same jsp.
Else U can have lazy in itialising forms.i.e forms getList emthod itself
will
call service to get data if list is null.And then in this case ,u can just
use
an epty action class which does nothing but forwarsd to success which is
the
origicnal jsp.But this action will be mapped with the Original actions form
so
that the form will use its auto population mechanism to get the list..But i
dont like this approach ..just not a good design i think.But very
conveninent.
Hope this helps,

Shirish

Okay... But a drop down menu is screen data.
And a list of companies is something that will be used more than once.
So I have a normal class in my model layer
ListCompanies
In my UserAction
(ListCompanies).getCompanies();
But this Action's primary job is to return a list of users (which it does).
As the list is screen data i should be defining this in my form bean? This
is something thats being confusing me for weeks. If i've a bunch of
collections how can i make them available to iterate tags and select menus,
without using useBean (sorry silly design constraint, but beyond my
control).
Hopefully I'm just being silly, i could really do with some pointers as
where i'm missing the point.

why

u setting all the collections as request attributes.GEnerally I think
the
good
design is when u r FormBEan represents the screen data.So in this case
whatever
u need on screen will become attribute of form.
I know it does not make much difference in implemantation but as a
design
it
becomes pretty straight forward.I mean for an action , if u just look at
the
form, u know what is being displayed.So u just populate the form in
action.
Any comments... :-))

RE: Struts validating with beta2 not working for server-side validation
I too haven't been able to get server-side validation to work. Although I have been
using a different release. When I use validator-1.0 from dwinterfeldt's site, using
server side validation results in nothing being validated as described in Bens Kwable
message.

Subject: Struts validating with beta2 not working for server-side validation
Hi All!
When I switch from client-side to server-side validation, the validation is
not effected. Now I called super.validate(..) in the validate(..) method of
my formbean (derived from ValidatorForm) and logged out errors.size() which
turned out to be 0, apparently indicating that my errors Object is empty. I
further checked the ValidatorForm.validate(..) method of the latest nightly
build and saw this code...
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request) {
ServletContext application = getServlet().getServletContext();
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
Validator validator =
Resources.initValidator(mapping.getAttribute(),
this,
application, request,
errors, page);
try {
validatorResults = validator.validate();
} catch (ValidatorException e) {
log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
}
return errors;
}
What I don't understand is the errors Object is returned, but I don't see
when it is filled with the validation results. Is it likely there is a bug
in here?

Hi All!
I had the client-side validation working under struts version before the
beta 2. Now my application has been migrated to the beta 2 of struts. Since
then, my client-side validation is no longer working. I understand the
validating logic has been adopted into commons. Can some tell me what is
happening?

Re: Struts validating with beta2 not working for server-side validation
I correct myself. The validation didn't appear to get called because the
flag wasn't set and there were xml errors in validation.xml. My bad.
Though we are still getting strange exceptionsso it's not working
for us (yet).
Best,
Michelle

Re: Server Side Validation not firing for Validator when Java Script is off
David, Thanks for the great framework for validation. I have found it extremely useful and am glad to hear it is becoming part of struts in the future. I am working on some deployment and maintenance issues and wondered if you had any suggestions based on your input below. There are two issues: 1 First is keeping the xml files small and isolated for ease of maintenance. I was wondering about creating a file called validators.xml that includes all the validators that I am using in a project (Validator definitions and maybe the javascript to go with it.) I would then create a file for each form that I am validating that contains the validation rules for each field. I could then create a validation.xml file that included all the above files (Validator.xml and several formvalidation.xml files). That would allow us to work on validation rules for a set of forms independent of the other forms. Is this overkill? How do you actually do an xml include? 2-- We have several non-struts applications and several separate isolated struts applications. We have one common javascript validation library that is used for all projects. If for example we had 2-nonstruts apps and 3 struts apps we would have to deploy 4 copies of the same javascript code. One for the non-struts apps and 3 for the struts apps since each struts app has a validation.xml file containing the javascript as part of the file. The scenario listed above would reduce the duplication to 2 since we would now need one javascript library for the non-struts apps and one validator.xml file for the struts applications. I sure would like to reduce that duplication to one. It seems that the static and dynamic jsp references might do the trick but I must admit I really don't understand it fully yet. Also we don't have jsp support for all of the applications we deploy so it might present a packaging problem as well. I would appreciate anyone's input on this issue. I am just trying to reduce maint and support costs in the future as we deploy more and more solutions that are struts based.

You could put other JavaScript methods in that and call them from onclick, etc. Although I'm not sure if that is what you mean. Otherwise you could do an xml include. I think the JavaScript associated with a java method should be with it in the xml file. David --- Scott Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes the javascript is being generated.

I can now go through function by funtion and see which one is incompatible.

Re: Server Side Validation not firing for Validator when Java Script is off
I located the problem. It was a combination of two things. 1) The names in my form and the validation tag did not match. I had two of them matching but all three needed to match. 2) I was using the .5 build which has an imcomplete validation.xml file and the format has changed since that build. Once question I have for those developing enterprise applications is how to managed the validation.xml file. It seems that is contains application specific information as well as enterprise specific information. It seems that the file contains javascript validation code which could be used throughout the enterprise on a number of applications. It also contains validation rules specific to the application that you are deploying. It seems that you either have to duplicate the javascript code to deploy in multiple validation.xml files or you have to include the validation rules for all applications in every validation.xml file. I realize you can cut and paste but this opens up possibilities for making mistakes. Has anyone come up with a way to package the inline javascript so it can be used in multiple validation.xml files and you only have to change one file to add additional javascript functions.

Re: Server Side Validation not firing for Validator when Java Script is off
Yes the javascript is being generated. I think the problem is that I used the validation.xml that comes with the latest release or your validator and some of it appears to not be compatible with Netscape version I am testing with. Java script has the great benefit of failing but not indicating where the problem is. I stripped out all but the required and mask code and it works. I can now go through function by funtion and see which one is incompatible. Is there any stratgy that would allow you to reference javascript that is in a library so that we could use some of the current javascript libraries we have today with out copying the code into the validation.xml. My next challenge is to get the generated validation to work with the formatting javascript I currently have on the page. This is currently causing some issues. Thanks for the help.

Re: Server Side Validation not firing for Validator when Java Script is off
If you look at the jsType.jsp, you will see that it is referencing an external JavaScript file called staticJavascript.jsp. You could put other JavaScript methods in that and call them from onclick, etc. Although I'm not sure if that is what you mean. Otherwise you could do an xml include. I think the JavaScript associated with a java method should be with it in the xml file. David --- Scott Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes the javascript is being generated.

Client/Server Side Validation for Struts 1.1
I'd like to get a discussion started on the client/standard validations for Struts 1.1. I thought it would be good to talk about what basic features it would include and implementation. Here are the descriptions from the To Do list for 1.1. Standard Validations. Add the ability to configure standard validations on particular properties to be enforced by the controller servlet automatically. Where feasible, client-side JavaScript validations may also be generated based on the same configuration rules. Client Side Validation. Add the ability to automatically generate optional JavaScript code to perform client-side validations for things like required fields, numeric fields, dates/times/timestamps, and so on. The required validation should mesh with validation enhancements provided in the controller servlet itself. Nic Hobbs and I have both volunteered for the Standard (Server Side) Validations and Ted Husted, Nic Hobbs, Spencer Smith and I have volunteered for the Client Validations (JavaScript). Ted has been using a validation framework I've done on a project (I'm not sure what version). It lets you define your validation rules in an xml file. It supports internationalized rules for a form and internationalized messages. It has basic support for creating JavaScript methods that can do what a server side method does. The code, documentation, and example webapps are posted here. And of course Struts is welcome to the source code if everyone thinks that what I've done so far is good foundation to start on. http://home.earthlink.net/~dwinterfeldt/ If any of the other volunteers have started something, I'd like to see it and I'm sure everyone has ideas for the design. I'd go into more detail about everything I've done, but it is probably easier for anyone interested to go to my site and read the documentation and javadocs posted there.
