I don't know if this work is still ongoing, but I notice that
ActionError and ActionErrors are deprecated, yet the validate method of
DynaValidatorForm still returns an ActionErrors object.
I looked at the validate method of DynaValidatorForm, and I'm confused.
It doesn't seem to do what it says it does. AFAICT, this method
*always* returns the empty ActionErrors object that's created with:
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
If errors ARE found, they're never put into that ActionErrors object,
they're stored in the protected ValidatorResults object.
/**
* Validate the properties that have been set from this HTTP
request,
* and return an <code>ActionErrors</code> object that encapsulates
any
* validation errors that have been found. If no errors are found,
return
* <code>null</code> or an <code>ActionErrors</code> object with no
* recorded error messages.
*
* @param mapping The mapping used to select this instance.
* @param request The servlet request we are processing.
* @return <code>ActionErrors</code> object that encapsulates any
validation errors.
*/
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request) {
this.setPageFromDynaProperty();
ServletContext application = getServlet().getServletContext();
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
Validator validator =
Resources.initValidator(mapping.getAttribute(), this,
application, request, errors, page);
try {
validatorResults = validator.validate();
} catch (ValidatorException e) {
log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
}
return errors;
}
Can someone who knows what's happening with ActionError/ActionErrors
please post a summary?
