There isn't anything different you need to do from normal validation.
http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/dev_validator.html
The only issue you might hit is if you want to validate according to the
Action Mapping's path, rather than the form name. Then you would need a
custom ActionForm - but thats very straight forward. Just extend either
BeanValidatorForm or LazyValidatorForm and instantiate the LazyDynaMap in
the constructor and fix the validation key (use setPathValidation(true)
method) to use the mapping's path. Something like...
public class MyLazyForm extends LazyValidatorForm() {
public MyLazyForm() {
super(new LazyDynaMap());
setPathValidation(true);
}
}
Some people don't like using the setPathValidation() because
BeanValidatorForm automatically removes the leading "/" - if thats the case
you can just override getValidationKey() method....
public String getValidationKey(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request) {
return mapping.getPath();
}
Obviously in your struts-config you need to specify this new form....
<form-bean name="mapForm" type="myPackage.MyLazyForm"/>
