UrlValidator is not the class that is instantiated by ValidatorAction
because it doesn't know anything about Struts resources - the Struts
FieldChecks.validateUrl() method calls commons GenericValidator which
instantiates the UrlValidator.
Rather than using the struts FieldChecks.validateUrl(), create you own
version which instantiates the url validator and picks up <var> values to
configure it. Something like:
<field property="someUrl" depends="myUrlValidator">
<var><var-name>slashes</var-name>
<var-value>true</var-value>
</var>
<var><var-name>fragments</var-name>
<var-value>true</var-value>
</var>
</field>
public static boolean validateUrl(Object bean,
ValidatorAction va, Field field,
ActionMessages errors,
HttpServletRequest request) {
String value = null;
if (isString(bean)) {
value = (String) bean;
} else {
value = ValidatorUtils.getValueAsString(bean,
field.getProperty());
}
int options = 0;
if ("true".equals(field.getVarValue("slashes")))
options += UrlValidator.ALLOW_2_SLASHES;
if ("true".equals(field.getVarValue("fragments")))
options += UrlValidator.ALLOW_2_SLASHES;
UrlValidator urlValidator = new UrlValidator(options);
if (!GenericValidator.isBlankOrNull(value) &&
!urlValidator.isValid(value)) {
errors.add(field.getKey(), Resources.getActionMessage(request,
va, field));
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
