Hi Folks, I am using Struts 2.0.6 to create a web application on the Spring/Hibernate stack. Validations in my application are done with xwork 2.0.1 validators and I have a query in this regard which I hope one of you can help me out with.
Domain objects in my application are created in 3 ways:- 1) Wizard like Web UI 2) Excel file upload 3) Data sync from an external system. In options 2 and 3, the complete information required to create a complete domain object is available in one shot, however, for option 1 the domain object is completed by capturing data from the user through multiple screens. For example let us say the first page saves the object to a draft state and the second page completes (submits) the object. So I would be saving a partial object in the first page and complete object in the second. I intend to use context based validation to valid my domain object before saving and have 2 non-intersecting sets of validation for the same:- - Object-draft-validation.xml and - Object-submit-validation.xml Now when I want to invoke the complete set of validations at once for option 2 & 3, I am forced to write a separate validation file Object-validation.xml which is a union of the validations in the previously mentioned 2 files. Instead of repeating the validations in this file, I want to know whether there is a way to "include" the previous 2 validation sets into this validation set. I was thinking of using XInclude feature of XML to achieve this but it didn't quite go well as the <validators> do not support namespace. Has anyone here faced a similar issue or have any ideas how to go about solving this?
