I inherited an internal web app today that has not been updated since
probably 2005 (not sure).
I have a few questions:
* There are about 100 Forms, The action classes extend Action and the
forms extend ActionForm
* I want to use Apache commons validator and move the form validations
from the validate() method that is in each Form (that extends
ActionForm).
* With this structure, which class would extend: DynaActionValidatorForm ?
I have these properly setup
My struts-config.xml has the validator plugin properly configured and I
have in place validator-rules.xml and validator-user.xml in WEB-INF when
deployed. I have an entry in validator-user.xml that has the same name
of the bean that is in struts-config.xml.
I extended the Form class with "extends DynaActionValidatorForm" but the
validate method is still called and my declarative validations are never
run.
For lack of a better example on this ( Where the Action uses the Form
and the Form class validate() method is called automatically by the
framework), how do I make this work?
If there is a working example anywhere, please let me know or post
here. I have done everything as instructed by the documentation but the
declarative validations are not being picked up.
thanks
J.V.
