Re: date parsing/validation...newbie 23/Jan/2004 and 23/JAN/2004

[Erik Weber]

Hmm, sorry, I don't use client-side form validation. For one, I found 
that the scripts generated by the Validator plugin measured 38K, which 
is ridiculous.

This is my validation.xml config for a date field that I tried for you:
<field property="myDate" depends="date">
   <arg0 key="myMessageKey"/>
   <var>
      <var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name>
      <var-value>dd/MMM/yyyy</var-value>
   </var>
</field>
I tested it with 23/JUL/2004, which passed, and 23/JIL/2004, which 
failed. I didn't test any more thoroughly than that.

Please try without the JavaScript to see if the Struts validation 
behaves as you expect. If it does, blame the JavaScript (which you can 
edit in validator-rules.xml).

Erik,
I have just tried datePatternStrict; the client side
validator now tells me that 23/Jan/2004 and
23/JAN/2004 are not dates.
Thank you.

Try "datePatternStrict" as the var-name instead of
"datePattern".

Hi, 

Please help me.  

I am trying to force users to enter dates in the
format 23/JAN/2003, therefore, I have the setting
below in the validator.xml.  The maxlength bit
     

works,
   

but date parsing does not work, for example the
validator does not complain if I enter an invalid
     

date
   

such as 23/JJJ/1996. As you are aware, JJJ is not a
valid month.  Can you please tell me what I am
     

doing
   

wrong.
	<field property="dob"
                  depends="maxlength,date">
                  <arg0 key="cargoForm.dob"/>
                 <arg1 name="maxlength"
key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false"/>
                  <var>
                    
<var-name>datePattern</var-name>
                    
<var-value>dd/MMM/yyyy</var-value>
                  </var>
                  <var>
                    
     

<var-name>maxlength</var-name>
   

                     <var-value>11</var-value>
                  </var>
        </field>
                If you have any example or link to a doc, please
send it.        
Thank you.

Noted. Thank you very much.

Looks to me like you probably want dd/MM/yyyy.

Please see the API documentation for
      

           

java.text.SimpleDateFormat's 
    

         

pattern syntax, which you are violating with
      

           

DD/MON/YYYY. "MON" is not 
    

         

an acceptable token, and DD is day-in-year, not
      

           

day in month.

day,
  

       

as
    

         

in this sample date: 33/jan/2000.
I am using Struts validator, which is setup as
follows:
<field property="dob"
depends="maxlength,date">
<arg0 key="cargoForm.dob"/>
<arg1 name="maxlength"
key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false"/>
<var>
<var-name>datePattern</var-name>
<var-value>DD/MON/YYYY</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>maxlength</var-name>
<var-value>11</var-value>
</var>
</field>
Thanks.
