Greetings: I know this is done many times before. My requirement is to display a list of records where one of the columns is text box.
The actual datastructure is a list of dual lists.. I have a List of wrapper objects that each contains two Lists. The internal list are value objects with non String values. All columns are readonly data except for one editable currency field. Wrapper customerWrapper1 voList1 voList2 customerWrapper2 voList1 voList2 So far I have all of this working and auto populating at request time. The problem is validation. What I have done so far is: 1 - The two wrapper objects use the commons ListUtils.lazyList() 2 - The page is rendered with nested tags (very easy!) 3 - upon submit, the datastructure gets repopulated and the amount field gets converted to a Float, all automatically. I was quite happy how clean this all was until I realized that I still want to validate the text value and redisplay the bad input in the list. By the time the validate method in the form is called, the list is already repopulated. If the Amount field is Bad input it would be converted to 0.0. So I need access to the field before is get converted. I should mention that I have no ability alter the data structure form the backend, so I can only wrap or convert... ******** Has anyone got any advice? **************** In an effort to get this going.. I am in the proccess if wrapping each value object inside another value object that contains a single String property and the vo. I will iterate throught each of the lists and validate each entry, then when sending to the back end, also iterate and convert each value. I am using 1.1b2 but am not using the validator. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
