Re: problems using httpunit / rhino with struts validator

[Nathan Coast]

Thanks Niall,

perfect, you were right, it was an issue with the jcv_retrieveFormName. 
 I'll post again when I've figured out whether it's caused by rhino, 
validator, httpunit or a combination of all three :)

As a workaround I can override the jcv_retrieveFormName(form) in each 
jsp to return the correct value:

function jcv_retrieveFormName(form) {
        return "SearchKeyForm";
  }

the form is xhtml compliant generated by struts so no name attribute 
defined:
<form id="SearchKeyForm" method="post" 
action="/i18n-admin/i18n-admin/key/SearchKey.do" onsubmit="return 
validateSearchKeyForm(this);">

for some reason, jcv_retrieveFormName drops through to the final case 
formName = form.name which resolves to 'undefined'

  function jcv_retrieveFormName(form) {

      // Please refer to Bugs 31534, 35127, 35294, 37315 & 38159
      // for the history of the following code

      var formName;

      if (form.getAttributeNode) {
          if (form.getAttributeNode("id") && 
form.getAttributeNode("id").value) {
              formName = form.getAttributeNode("id").value;
          } else {
              formName = form.getAttributeNode("name").value;
          }
      } else if (form.getAttribute) {
          if (form.getAttribute("id")) {
              formName = form.getAttribute("id");
          } else {
              formName = form.attributes["name"];
          }
      } else {
          if (form.id) {
              formName = form.id;
          } else {
*****
***** This gets executed
*****
              formName = form.name;
          }
      }
      return formName;
  }

thanks again, had no idea where to look.

cheers
Nathan

OK I'm making some assumptions here, so correct me if I'm wrong:
1) I assume that the form specific validation functions have been
correctly generated by the <html:javascript> tag - for example if you
have a form named "foo", you're getting functions like "foo_requred"
generated? Can you verify this?

yes, this is generated
function validateSearchKeyForm(form) {
        if (bCancel) {
            return true;
        } else {
            var formValidationResult;
            formValidationResult = validateMaxLength(form);
            return (formValidationResult == 1);
        }
    }

    function SearchKeyForm_maxlength () {
     this.a0 = new Array("value.key", "Key can not be greater than 250 
characters.", new Function ("varName", "this.maxlength='250';  return 
this[varName];"));
     this.a1 = new Array("value.description", "Description can not be 
greater than 250 characters.", new Function ("varName", 
"this.maxlength='250';  return this[varName];"));
    }
