Yes. Even though it contains a commons-validator dated from August 16 th.
Also, should the form-property type be "boolean" or "java.lang.Boolean"
(case-sensitive of course)?
Thanks.

YES YOU R RIGHT. WHEN THE CHECK BOX IS NOT CHECKED, THE FORM WILL NOT EVEN
HAVE THAT ELEMENT PRESENT. THIS IS AN ERROR IN STRUTS. IN OUR APPLICATION WE
WROTE A CODE WHICH CHECK FOR THIS ELEMENT AN IT IS IS NOT THERE THEN MADE IT
"FALSE"
ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE isCheckbox():return boolean instead if
getCheckbox():return String in your action form.

Thanks for the response, but I don't think the problem lies with the actual
validation that's happening.
I suspect that when a user submits the form page without a checkbox/radio
button checked, a blank variable is never sent to the form bean (i.e
http://www.url.com/servlet.do?checkboxvar=), it just doesn't send anything.
The form bean then sees it as as a nonexistent variable and returns a trace
stack error. Any other ideas?
I will however update my struts package.

I'm having trouble with the struts form validation framework when it comes
to radio buttons and checkboxes. For some reason, I can validate any other
type of field, but not radios/checkboxes. Here's where I seem to be having
trouble:
Try a --nightly-- build of struts. I believe it has enhancements in
commons-validator to validate
radio controls. you can tell for sure by looking at the validator-rules.xml.
In there you'll see itels like :
function validateRequired(form) {
//Stuff deleted.....
if (field.type == 'text' ||
//stuff deleted
field.type == 'radio' ||
field.type == 'password') {
So this says that for the 'required' rule radio is supported.
Do the same for integer, byte, etc to see if 'radio' is supported.
In the struts-config.xml file, should the form-property type be set to
java.lang.String or java.lang.Boolean?
In the page with the form, does it look right to create the radio buttons
like this:
<html:form ......>
<html:radio property="activity" value="a" />
<html:radio property="activity" value="b" />
<html:radio property="activity" value="c" />
</html:form>
Are there any other tricks to doing this that differs from validating
standard text boxes, textareas, etc.?
Thank in advance.
