- <p>The Validation Framework was made to work with
- <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts";>Struts</a>. It can perform
basic
- validations to check if a field is required, matches a regular
expression,
- email, credit card, and server side type checking and date validation.
Different
- validation rules can be defined for different locales. The framework
has basic support for
- user defined constants which can be used in some field attributes.
The validation routines
- are modifiable in the validation.xml file so custom validation
routines can be created and added
- to the framework.
- </p>
- <p>
- I wanted to mention that any type of validation can be performed in a
validation
- method. There seems to be a conception in some e-mails that the
framework is only based on regular
- expressions. They can do a lot so they are used almost exclusively in
the examples, but the type
- form shows validating some java primitives using standard java methods
like Integer.parseInt,
- validating a range, validating a credit card number, and validating a
date.
- </p>
- <p>The Struts Validator is going to be incorporated into Struts 1.1. I'm
working on finalizing
- any design and/or feature issues before this occurs.<BR>
- Note: The version 0.5 release is the most stable
release (using Struts 3/6/2001 build).
- </p>
- <p>Feedback on bugs and suggestions are welcome.<BR>

- <font size=-1>Update 7/2/2001 (using Struts 1.0)</font><BR>
- <ul>
- <li>Only the fields that are different from the default FormSet
need to be
- added to the FormSet of another locale. A complete list of
fields
- will be generated for each locale based on the default FormSet.
As
- the complete list of fields is generated, the list will be
built
- with the fields that are the closest match for the locale of
the FormSet.
- If the language is 'fr' and country is 'CA', then if the field
doesn't exist
- under 'fr_CA' it will be looked for under 'fr' and then it will
use the
- default locale. If you are using a variable, replacement won't
occur
- until after the complete field list for each locale is
generated. This
- needs more testing, but seems functional.
- </li>
- <li>Changed all StrutsValidator methods (except validateRequired) to
only
- perform validation if there is something other than a space
entered.
- This way if you want to removed the depends="required" from a
validator,
- the user will receive an error message once once something is
entered
- in a field along with any fields that are still required.
- </li>
- <li>The required JavaScript function now also checks for select and
radio fields.</li>
