Re: server-side validation with Validator

[Brice Ruth]

Yeah, I read pretty much exactly that in Ted's book, but I have to 
admit, I'm not entirely sure what it means ... someone previously also 
mentioned that the DynaValidatorForm uses the "name" attribute of the 
action definition, whereas the DynaValidatorActionForm uses the "path" 
... well, my "path" is the path for the Action ... I'm not sure under 
what circumstances one would use DynaValidatorActionForm, I guess ...

Hi,

The DynaValidatorForm will match the formset name with the form-bean
name.
it uses mapping.getAttribute() to init the validator

OK, nevermind ... I just needed to change DynaValidatorActionForm to 
DynaValidatorForm ... now it works.

I have everything setup to do server-side validation, as far as I can
tell ... I've set a breakpoint in DynaValidatorActionForm.validate and
   

 

it is getting called ... to test if the validation is working, I've 
disabled the JavaScript validation by removing the onsubmit call for 
my <html:form> element ... fine, now I can submit non-valid data. 
However, I keep getting to my Action, instead of being shunted back to
   

 

the input page. My input page is defined as a tile definition, here's 
what my struts-config.xml looks like (for that section):

<action
  path="/US/garden/resources/orangeThumbApply"
  type="com.fiskars.struts.actions.OrangeThumbSaveData"
  name="orangeThumbApp"
  scope="request"
  validate="true"
  input="garden.orangeThumbForm">
  <forward
      name="success"
      path="garden.orangeThumbThankyou"/>
</action>
Does anyone see anything wrong here? To test the validation, I've left
out a required field and I've entered a text string for a numeric 
(short) value.

My JavaScript validation seems to be working like a champ, but the
server-side stuff seems MIA, even though its being called.
TIA
