Hi,
If you have noticed the validation would stil occur at the back end (java part).
If you want password also to be validated at front end change you
validator-rules.xml - javascript function validateMinLength
to the following code .
<javascript><![CDATA[
function validateMinLength(form) {
var bValid = true;
var focusField = null;
var i = 0;
var fields = new Array();
oMinLength = new minlength();
for (x in oMinLength) {
if (form[oMinLength[x][0]].type == 'text' ||
form[oMinLength[x][0]].type == 'password' ||
form[oMinLength[x][0]].type == 'textarea') {
var iMin = parseInt(oMinLength[x][2]("minlength"));
if (!(form[oMinLength[x][0]].value.length >= iMin)) {
if (i == 0) {
focusField = form[oMinLength[x][0]];
}
fields[i++] = oMinLength[x][1];
bValid = false;
}
}
}
if (fields.length > 0) {
focusField.focus();
alert(fields.join('\n'));
}
return bValid;
}]]>
</javascript>
This should work fine.Let me know.

JavaScript functions do NOT work on HTML
"password" fields. We just verified this. I totally agree with
"Hajratwala". Struts should not impose this limitation on the developers.
It is the developers responsibility to control the amount of
security-related information returned to a user, not Struts. I go to
websites all the time where I get a message specifying the size limits for a
password. Does anyone know where the logic is implemented for ignoring the
max/min check on a password? Do others agree that Struts is outside it
boundaries by doing this? If so, maybe my team can submit a patch.

interesting ... sorry if this has been discussed to death already. If so,
i'll shut up. =)
Shouldn't the decision of displaying the validation be up to the application
developer?
For example, when changing a password, you would have a spot to enter old &
new passwords, but would likely want to put some validation around the new
one (min 6 characters, etc). What would be wrong with displaying that info
to the user?

This has been explained before. I think it was by Ted. The reason has to do
with security. Specifying bouinds on the length of a password limits the
universe of potential passwords that a cracker would need to test. And of
course if he/she saw a message saying "Password must be between 6 and 30
characters in length" that would provide that information.
