Hello, >Unfortunately, the way it works right now is that: > >1) date implies required in validator-rules.xml, which means that all >dates are required. You can only make a date (or float, or any other >type-validated field) optional by removing the "required" from >validator-rules.xml
I would also prefer not to have this dependency in validation-rules.xml The nice point is that you can easily remove it by yourself. >2) If you remove the required dependency from validator-rules, it still >doesn't work right, because if you put a non-date in dateOfBirth and >leave lastName empty, only lastName will generate an error, because >the way Validator is written right now, if any dependency flags an error >(even in another field), it stops validation beyond that dependency in >all fields. That's true, and it could be easily fixed. Nevertheless I would see several options and decide a programmer/end customer how the errors should be handled. I see no harm if at first will be checked, that all MUST fields must be filled and then start to validate this fields. Of course it is possible to check all fields at once. I would prefer to have yet another possiblility - bring an error "please fill all required fields" if some of them is empty and then start with the second check. It looks pretty ugly if you see field 1 is required field 2 is required ... field N is required Normally all required fields are marked with asterisk or with some other sign, so user will automatically get feedback which fields are required. Perhaps we can extend struts library for this purpose. Another useful extention from my point of view would be to mark bad fields, with red "!" or in some other way, so the error shown at the top of the page could be easily "attached" to the input field(s).
