Sorry I am not following you. I am trying to to use the 'requiredif'
validation not 'required' validation. I dont have xml defining the field.
Just what I had posted in the previous message to illustrate my problem. I
am currently looking at the code of requiredif to see if its functioning
properly.
You say to use required, mycheck. But I cant require the field. I need to
require it conditionally based on another field in the form. That is why I
want to use requiredif. Based on whether a field is true or false, validate
some other fields, kind of thing...
As for as the code for RequiredIf, it doesnt seem to me to handle EQUALS
well.
boolean required = false;
...
...
...
if (dependTest.equals(FIELD_TEST_EQUAL)) {
this_required =
dependTestValue.equalsIgnoreCase(dependVal);
}
...
...
if (required) {
if ((value != null) && (value.length() > 0)) {
return true;
} else {
errors.add(field.getKey(), Resources.getActionError(request,
va, field));
return false;
}
}
}
No where does it seem to compare the xml value and the value on the actual
form.
If you have any other suggestions or can clarify, please do...

I just barely ran into this problem. Seems that all the field checks
are run. Checking the Validator example (TowFieldCheck) in the struts
docs (1.1b3), It seems that if the value is null, you should let it pass
as accepted.
The xml defining the field is the one that should specify that the field
is required. id: required,mycheck
Then it becomes possible to have an optional field.
