Using Visitor Field Validator
Description
The followings show a simple example using Webwork’s Field Validators
Step 1
Create the jsp page.
<s:fielderror cssClass="alert alert-error"/>
<s:form method="POST" action="submitVisitorValidatorsExamples" namespace="/validation">
<s:textfield name="user.name" label="User Name"/>
<s:textfield name="user.age" label="User Age"/>
<s:textfield name="user.birthday" label="Birthday"/>
<s:submit label="Submit" cssClass="btn btn-primary"/>
</s:form>
Step 2
Create the action class.
public class VisitorValidatorsExampleAction extends AbstractValidationActionSupport {
private User user;
@StrutsParameter(depth = 1)
public User getUser() {
return user;
}
public void setUser(User user) {
this.user = user;
}
}
Step 3
Create the validator.xml.
<validators>
<field name="user">
<field-validator type="visitor">
<param name="context">userContext</param>
<param name="appendPrefix">true</param>
<message>User:</message>
</field-validator>
</field>
</validators>
