Re: Validating single fields in multi-page forms

[Bill Siggelkow]

Well, if I recall from your original post you only wanted to validate 
the fields on the current page only. Validator provides support for a 
page attribute that you can use for wizard-style forms. Validator will 
use that attribute to validate form fields on the current page and any 
previous pages. The reason it does the previous page is primarily for 
security since you cannot guarantee that form properties were set from 
the intended page.

Hi Bill
Thanks for your suggestion.  I have switched to ValidatorActionForm for 
my validation and now get the desired result (validation of only the 
fields that appear on the specific page).  So problem solved!

I am curious though about your interpretation of "wizard style".  The 
form is indeed wizard like, would you do things differently because of 
that?

If I understand you correctly, you are using a form for multiple-pages 
but not in a wizard fashion. The best way to do this is to use 
path-mapping for validator -- in this case your form extends
ValidatorActionForm (or DynaValidatorActionForm) and you specify the 
path to the action for the form name in the validation.xml ...

<form name="/Foo/Bar">
  ... for this action, only these fields will be validated...
</form>

Hi
I have a multi-page form (about 8 pages total) that take just a few 
fields per page that I am implementing in Struts (this is my first 
Struts project).
