Re: [validator] maxlength not reading from resource bundle

[Sgarlata Matt]

Ah-hah, figured it out.  This will not work:

<arg0 key="label.bin.title"/>

but this will work:

<arg0 key="label.bin.title" resource="true"/>

I will enter this as a bug, because the documentation states that "By 
default the arg0-arg3 elements will try to look up the key attribute in 
the message resources" at

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html

Thanks for your help Mike & David,

Matt

I'm having some trouble using the maxlength validation and I was hoping 
someone could give me some help.  I have a form with one required field 
and one field with a maximum length of 2000 characters.  When input 
validation fails for both fields I get the following messages (text in 
parentheses I added):

Bin Name is required. (good!)
null can not be greater than 2000 characters.  (not good)
      <field
        property="description"
        depends="maxlength">
        <arg0 name="fieldname" key="label.bin.title"/>
        <arg1 name="maxlength" key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false"/>
        <var>
          <var-name>maxlength</var-name>
          <var-value>2000</var-value>
        </var>
      </field>


That looks like it should work to me.   I started with maxlength and created 
my own "length" function.  The only difference I see is that I use "key, 
name, resource" and you're using "name, key, resource." [And yes, my mask 
validator is probably redundant.]

                 <field
                    property="socialSecurityNumberA"
                    depends="required,length,positiveNumber,mask">
                                <msg name="length" key="errors.lengthDigits"/>
                    <arg0 key="label.socialSecurityNumberA" resource="true"/>
                        <arg1 key="${var:length}" name="length" resource="false"/>
                    <var>
                        <var-name>length</var-name>
                        <var-value>3</var-value>
                    </var>
                    <var>
                        <var-name>mask</var-name>
                        <var-value>^[0-9][0-9][0-9]$</var-value>
                    </var>
                 </field>

Try:

The number after "arg" is the position in the message to replace so you
need a 0.


Since his output was "null can not be greater than 2000 characters.", that 
would simply create "2000 can not be greater than 2000 characters."
