Hi,
Iam doing client side validations. Let me explain the problem. All field
are <html:text> & using struts 1.1
case 1:
Name : 3456
Password : abc
Email : def
In case1, if i click the submit button with the respective values, iam
getting alert msg "enter only characters for name" & "enter only numbers for
password" BUT its not displaying alert msg "Please enter a valid Email
address".
Suppose if i enter proper values for name & password field then it will
display alert msg "Please enter a valid Email address".
As in case i all the 3 values are invalid so it should show all the 3
alert msgs in one alert.
Only for name field iam checking that it should contain characters with
min. length=5 & max. length=6. For password field iam checking it should
contain only numbers. For email field iam checking to have a proper email
id. ALL field are required.
messageresources.properties:
---------------------------------------------
ComposeForm.OnlyNumbers =enter only numbers for password
ComposeForm.OnlyChars = enter only characters for fname
ComposeForm.InvalidEmail = Please enter a valid Email address.
ComposeForm.fname.minlength = First Name cannot be less than {1}
characters.
ComposeForm.fname.maxlength = First Name cannot be greater than {2}
characters.
validation.xml

</plug-in>
JSP

<html:form action = "/some" method= "post" onsubmit="return
validateInfoForm(this);">
<table>
<tr><td>Name : </td><td> <html:text property="fname"

<tr><td> Password : </td><td><html:text property="password" />
</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td> Email : </td><td><html:text property="emailaddress"/></td>
<td></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="3"> <html:submit/></td></tr>
</table>
<!-- Begin Validator Javascript Function-->
<html:javascript formName="InfoForm" staticJavascript="true"/>
<!-- End of Validator Javascript Function-->
</html:form>

Rauf-
Are you doing client or server-side validation? Or both?
W.R.T your multiple errors, there is an attribute you can set in your
struts XML file, namely:
| <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames"
value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml
,/WEB-INF/validations.xml"/>
<set-property property="stopOnFirstError"
value="true"/>
</plug-in>|
Note that you must be using Struts >= 1.2.0 for this feature, though I
believe prior to 1.2.0, the behavior was to always stop on the first
error.
I'm a little confused by your explanation but it sounds like you're
possibly missing the XML in your JSP for the email field since you say
it doesn't show up - the other rationale is that it's a valid email
address.
Also, just an FYI, your password field does not have a max/min length
validation.
