I'm reposting this in the hope that someone can tell what I'm doing wrong. I can't seem to figure out why this doesn't work..... Any (and all) help is greatly appreciated....
I have a rather simple form with 4 fields on it. If the first field (patientId) is left blank, then the other three fields (lastName, firstName, dob) are required. So, in struts-config I have <snip> <form-bean name="UserInfo" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm"> <form-property name="lastName" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="firstName" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="dob" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="patientId" type="java.lang.String"/> </form-bean> </snip> and in my validator-rules I am using <snip> <formset> <form name="UserInfo"> <field property="patientId" depends="mask"> <msg name="mask" key="errors.field.invalid" /> <arg0 key="UserInfo.patientId.displayname" /> <var> <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>^[0-9]+$</var-value> </var> </field> <field property="lastName" depends="requiredif, mask"> <msg name="requiredif" key="errors.field.required" /> <msg name="mask" key="errors.field.invalid" /> <arg0 key="UserInfo.lastName.displayname" /> <var> <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>^[A-Za-z -']+$</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field[0]</var-name> <var-value>patientId</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-test[0]</var-name> <var-value>NULL</var-value> </var> </field> <field property="firstName" depends="requiredif, mask"> <msg name="requiredif" key="errors.field.required" /> <msg name="mask" key="errors.field.invalid" /> <arg0 key="UserInfo.firstName.displayname" /> <var> <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>^[A-Za-z -']+$</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field[0]</var-name> <var-value>patientId</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-test[0]</var-name> <var-value>NULL</var-value> </var> </field> <field property="dob" depends="requiredif, mask"> <msg name="requiredif" key="errors.field.required" /> <msg name="mask" key="errors.field.invalid" /> <arg0 key="UserInfo.dob.displayname" /> <var> <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>^[0-9]+$</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field[0]</var-name> <var-value>patientId</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-test[0]</var-name> <var-value>NULL</var-value> </var> </field> </form> </formset> </snip> The REQUIREDIF check does not seem to be working as the validation is passed successfully. I suspect it has something to do with the form property being a String, but being checked against a NULL in validator. I checked the validator docs and this appears to be the correct way of doing this. Am I just missing something obvious? TIA!
