Can you override the validate() method inside your form and just call
super.validate(), then see what the error collection has?
At least then you know it was called, but may not have done what you thought it
should:
package view.struts.forms;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm;
public class Page_6_Form extends DynaValidatorForm {
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Page_6_Form.class);
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request) {
log.info( request.getRemoteUser() + " *** validate() - Start ***");
// step in here with debug
ActionErrors errors = super.validate(mapping, request);
// look at results of errors object as watch on first test
log.info( request.getRemoteUser() + " *** validate - End, errors= " +
( errors == null ? "0" : errors.size()+"" ) + " ***");
return ( errors );
} // validate
} // Page_6_Form

Subject: Validator not getting called and I can't see why
I'm either missing something stupid (which is always possible) or I've
managed to break the validator. I have an app that uses validator all
over the place and it's working fine in all my other actions but for
this one action it is simply not getting called.
I can't see any difference between this action/form/validation and all
the other ones that are working.
This is the form:
<form-bean name="createStudentGroupForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="groupName" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="noStudents" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="groupType" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="wikiText" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="studentNames" type="java.lang.String[]" />
</form-bean>
This is the action:
<action path="/mentor/createStudentGroupStep1"
type="vtie.portal.mentor.CreateStudentGroupPrepareAction"
name="createStudentGroupForm" scope="session" validate="true"
input="/home/mentor/addStudentGroupForm.jsp">
<forward name="createAnonymous"
path="/do/mentor/createAnonymousStudentGroup" />
<forward name="getStudentNames"
path="/home/mentor/getStudentNamesForm.jsp" />
<forward name="fail" path="/home/mentor/addStudentGroupForm.jsp" />
</action>
And this is the validation:
<form name="createStudentGroupForm">
<field property="groupName" page="1" depends="required, mask">
<var><var-name>mask</var-name><var-value>^[a-zA-Z]+[\w\
]*$</var-value></var>
<arg0 key="mentor.createStudentGroup.groupName.label"/>
</field>
<field property="noStudents" page="1" depends="required, integer">
<arg0 key="mentor.createStudentGroup.noStudents.label"/>
</field>
<field property="studentNames" page="2" depends="required">
<arg0 key="mentor.createStudentGroup.studentNames.label"/>
</field>
</form>
Can anyone see something obviously wrong there?
Cheers,
Bart.
