For example, in Struts 1, I can define all global regular expression validations in a file called validation-regexpr.xml such as : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.1.3//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_1_3.dtd"> <form-validation> <global> <constant> <constant-name>alpha</constant-name> <constant-value>[A-Za-z]*</constant-value> </constant> </global> </form-validation> The above global regular expressions can be reused in other validation files as follows : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.2.0//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_2_0.dtd"> <form-validation> <formset> <form name="EmployeeForm"> <field property="EmployeeName" depends="mask"> <msg name="mask" key="errors.invalid" /> <arg position="0" key="label.EmployeeName" /> <var> <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>${alpha}</var-value> </var> </field> </form> </formset> </form-validation> I could not get information on how to do this in Struts 2, no luck with the Struts2 e-books also. Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated .... Regards Arul Your Mail works best with the New Yahoo Optimized IE8. Get it NOW! http://downloads.yahoo.com/in/internetexplorer/
