yes Rick....as exactly like what you mentioned what I did is first I just called super.validate() in my validate method of ActionForm then did the custon validation...btw is there any way in which I can validate those fields in framework itself..??? one like NotRequiredIf...??
like I should restrict the user to enter either CreditCardId text box or radio button which represent NoCreditCardId and not both If so I should throw err msg. -Ram -----Original Message----- From: Rick Reumann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 12:13 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts-Validation Ramadoss Chinnakuzhandai wrote: > yes....I should restrict the user to enter both fields i.e they should enter anyone > of the fields and not both. These option I think is to use the validate method in your ActionForm and then first call your validation framework and then do the check for the custom stuff you need to take care of.... public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) { ServletContext application = getServlet().getServletContext(); ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); //parameter will tell it what validation to look at String parameter = request.getParameter( mapping.getParameter() ); Validator validator = Resources.initValidator( parameter, this, application, request, errors, page); try { validatorResults = validator.validate(); } catch (ValidatorException e) { log.error(e.getMessage(), e); } //!! now do the custom stuff.. comparing the fields etc and add //any more errors to errors return errors; } -- Rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
