Re: Problem Validating Integer

[Victor J. Soares]

FYI for anybody that runs into this same *issue*....

I found the problem with my form validation not validating an integer 
field correctly. The problem was in the <form-property> for the form 
field. I had declared it as "java.lang.Integer", but when I changed it 
to "java.lang.String" it worked perfect.

In the struts-config.xml it should be:

         <form-bean name="bookForm"
             type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
             <form-property name="title" type="java.lang.String" />
             <form-property name="numpages" type="java.lang.String" />
         </form-bean>
NOT:

         <form-bean name="bookForm"
             type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
             <form-property name="title" type="java.lang.String" />
             <form-property name="numpages" type="java.lang.Integer" />
         </form-bean>

Hello,
I am learning how to use the DynaValidatorForm and Validtor, but I have 
run into a problem I can't figure out:

One of the fields in the form is of type "Integer". The validation rules 
I set up check to see if (1) the a value has been given (required) (2) 
the value given is an integer.

I submit the form, but the validation doesn't catch either of those 
cases and return the form populated with "0".

Can somebody clue me in on Integer validation?

thanks,

Below are the snippets from the pertinent configs:

struts-config.xml-------------
        <form-bean name="bookForm"
            type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
            <form-property name="title" type="java.lang.String" />
            <form-property name="numpages" type="java.lang.Integer" />
        </form-bean>
---------------------------
validation.xml---------------

        <form name="bookForm">

            <field property="title" depends="minlength,maxlength">
                <arg0   key="prompt.title"/>
                <arg1   key="${var:minlength}" name="minlength"     
                        resource="false"/>
                <arg2   key="${var:maxlength}" name="maxlength"
                        resource="false"/>
                <var>
                    <var-name>maxlength</var-name>
                    <var-value>16</var-value>
                </var>
                <var>
                    <var-name>minlength</var-name>
                    <var-value>3</var-value>
                </var>
            </field>

            <field property="numpages" depends="required,integer">
                <arg0   key="prompt.pages"/>
            </field>
        </form>
