Bob,
Niall is completely right that you generally don't want to do this as it is
a security hazard, however he is wrong that it cannot be done. You just need
to use a custom ValidatorForm rather than relying solely on the validation
config file. To do this, make the ActionForm that the ccnum property resides
in a ValidatorForm instead. Then you override the validate method and inside
of that method you have complete access to the credit card number they
entered and can create an ActionError with whatever message you want. A
complete example:
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request){
//First do the default validation
ActionErrors oldErrors = super.validate(mapping, request);
ActionErrors newErrors = ActionErrors();
for(ActionError error : errors){
if(error.getKey().equals("errors.creditCard.number")){
newErrors.add("errors.creditCard.number", this.getCcnum());
} else {
newErrors.add(error.getKey(), error.getValues());
}
}
return newErrors;

the error message "errors.creditcard={0} is an invalid credit card
number".
I'm using Struts 1.2.8
Here's my validation.xml snippet:
<field property="ccnum" depends="required, creditCard">
<var>
<var-name>cCard</var-name>
<var-value>${ccnum}</var-value>
</var>
<arg position="0" name="required" key="errors.creditCard.number" />
<arg key="${var:cCard}" name="creditCard" resource="false" position="0" />
</field>
With the above snippet, the error message produced is:
"${ccnum} is an invalid credit card number."
Can someone give me an example of how to pass the "ccnum" to arg0?
Thanks,
Bob
