Ted, I would agree, the framework presented should fit most needs. Those of us that work outside of Java on the server appreciate the flexibility of the XML definition and it would be a step backward to tie this to Java. I am confident that the structures presented will work for almost any validation. I have not used it enough to know whether it will be possible to inherit database edits on an input form when they fit, but that would be a goal.
David Morris >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/03/01 12:59 PM >>> I just want to make sure that everyone watching this thread is aware that Struts does have a Validator, configured with an XML file, that uses regular expressions or Javascript, and peforms that same validations both client-side adn server-side, which many of us have been using since April. It's available in the contrib folder in the Nightly Build now, and at David Winterfeldt's Web site. http://home.earthlink.net/~dwinterfeldt/ This thread started when someone suggested we incorporate the validation in the Action rather than the ActionForm. Reading some of these messages it's unclear to me what people are suggesting that we are not doing now. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/struts/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
