Re: validator-rules.xml behaviour

[Matt Bathje]

In your validateDate method, are you doing an errors.add before 
returning false? If not, no message will be put into the errors object 
to be printed out.

In my custom validators, I have the methodParams looks like this:
methodParams="java.lang.Object,
   org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
   org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
   org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessages,
   javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
and then do this in the method right before returning false:
errors.add(field.getKey(), Resources.getActionMessage(request, va, field));
The other thing may be to try taking the property attribute off of your 
html:errors tag.

Hello,
 
I am trying to add my own custom validation method to my validator-rules.xml file.
Here's the new snippet I am adding (Validator is a utility class I wrote to perform extra validation):
 
<validator name="dateCheck"

classname="com.onx.usermanager.util.Validator"
method="validateDate"
methodParams="java.lang.Object"
msg="error.date.invalid" />
I have tried debugging my code, the validator does indeed go into my validateDate 
method and returns a boolean=false.
However, contrary to what I believed was going to happen, it does not throw the 
error.date.invalid ........is this not what is supposed to happen by default if the 
validator returns a false boolean?
I think everything else is fine, in my jsp I have 

<td><html:errors property="date"/></td>
and in my validation.xml:
<field property="date" depends="dateCheck">
</field>
and in my ApplicationResources.properties file I have:
error.date.invalid=<li><font color="red">End Date must be after Start Date</font></li>
Please help me, any help is appreciated,
you can email me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED],
thanks,
Anna
p.s. I can do other validations with my xml files fine, it is just this custom one not 
working...
