Re: Validation in Struts for Required fields

[Erik Weber]

Somehow we lost the list on a couple of posts.
OK, so, these are the things I assume you have checked so far:
1) you have an html:select tag with property = "reportType", and the 
default option's value is ""
2) your ActionForm extends one of the proper types (such as 
ValidatorForm) and has the proper getters and setters for the reportType 
field
3) in struts-config.xml, you have configured the action (the same one 
that your form will submit to) with validate = true, and you have named 
the proper ActionForm to associate with the action (one of your 
form-bean declarations)
4) the field name in validation.xml matches the field name of your 
select ("reportType"), and the form name in validation.xml matches the 
same form name that you are associating with the action in 
struts-config.xml (the name of the form configured in the action matches 
one of your form-bean declarations)

What else am I leaving out?

Does the property attribute to html:select have the same value you have 
specified as the field name in validation.xml ("reportType", 
"productLine")? Do you have the validate attribute set to "true" in 
struts-config.xml for the relevant action configuration?

In your JSP, where are your selects? Are you using html:select tags to 
produce them?

Hi ,

I have a JSP Page where I have two dropdowns displaying default
     

values.
 

Before submitting that page, the user should select something from
  

     

these
   

two dropdowns and if he doesn't selects, there should be an error
message displayed on the top saying "This field is required".
This is what I am doing but it doesn't gives me an error message and
     

am
 

able to proceed to the next page. Any idea as to what could be
     

possibly
 

wrong/missing ?

In my validator.xml , I have 


                     <form name="ClientReportingForm"> 

                                 <!-- Struts validation -->
                                 <field property="reportType"
depends="required">
                                             <arg0
key="prompt.reportType"/>
                                 </field>
                                 

                                 <field property="productLine"
depends="required">
                                 <arg0 key="prompt.productLine"/>
                                 </field>
                                             

                     </form>

In my ApplicationResources.properties I have 


         <prompt.reportType     value= "Report Type"/>
         <prompt.productLine    value= "Product Line"/>

And in my JSP Page I have 


         <logic:messagesPresent message="error" > 

     <bean:message key="errors.header" /> 

     <ul> 

             <font color="red"><b> <html:messages id="error"> 

                     <li><bean:write name="error" filter="false"
/></li> 

             </html:messages> </b> </font> 

     </ul> 

     <bean:message key="errors.footer" /> 

</logic:messagesPresent> 



Thanks,
Priya
