In your validator-rules.xml file, add the following for each form field you
need access to:
<form name="yourForm">
<field property="firstProperty" depends="yourCustomRoutine">
<var>
<var-name>secondProperty-Label</var-name>
<var-value>secondProperty-Value</var-name>
</var>
</field>
</form>
secondProperty-Label would be what you want to call the variable in your
custom routine; secondProperty-Value would be the actual form field name
that contains the entered value. Then in your custom routine you can access
these values by
public static boolean yourCustomRoutine(Object object,
ValidatorAction va, Field field, ActionErrors errors, HttpServletRequest
request)
{
String fp = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(object,
field.getProperty());
String sp = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(object,
field.getVarValue("secondProperty-Label"));
... do something ...
return true; // or false if the validation fails
}
