RE: Question on creating new Validation Rules in Struts 1.2

[bsimonin]

Thank you so much for passing on the URL.  I really appreciate it.  It helped 
create my own validation rule using Struts 1.2.7.

Yes, all the standard rules that are shipped with Struts including the
"required" validator you show the config for below - look at the
class/method specified in the className/method elements you have below.

Okay let me rephrase this.  Here is the "required" validator rules for
Struts 1.2 from the validator-rules.xml file:

<validator name="required"
            classname="org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks"
               method="validateRequired"
         methodParams="java.lang.Object,
                       org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
                       org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
                       org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessages,
                       org.apache.commons.validator.Validator,
                       javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
                  msg="errors.required"/>

Does some know how to create a new rules using these methodParams?  Is there
an example out there somewhere?

Hello there.

Are there examples for creating a new Validation Rule using a new class for
validating and then updating the validator-rules.xml file? I found a few
examples but they are for Struts 1.1.   Below is a test class I am creating
and then a copied version of a rule added to the validator-rules.xml from
Struts 1.2.  As you can see from what I have provided the method arguments
are different for the validator-rules.xml of Struts 1.2.  Any clue would be
appreciated.

My class is as follows:

package edu.nmsu.psl.validators;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.commons.validator.Field;
import org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction;
import org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorUtil;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
import org.apache.struts.validator.Resources;

public class ActiveDirectoryValidator {

public static boolean validateActiveDirectoryName(Object bean,
ValidatorAction action,
Field field,
ActionErrors errors,
HttpServletRequest request) {

String value = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean, field.getProperty());

if (value == null) value = "";

if (!value.equals("Brad")) {
errors.add(field.getKey(), Resources.getActionError(request, action,
field));
return false;
} else {
return true;
}

}

}


My validator-rules.xml is as follows:

<validator name="activeDirectory"
            classname="edu.nmsu.psl.validators.ActiveDirectoryValidator"
               method="validateActiveDirectoryName"
         methodParams="java.lang.Object,
                       org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
                       org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
                       org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessages,
                       org.apache.commons.validator.Validator,
                       javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
                  msg="errors.activeDirectory"/>
