Hi,

I’m currently trying to build a Struts 1.2 WebApp using MyEclipse; until recently I used NetBeans but prefer the Eclipse IDE over Netbeans.

Now, I created a new Form, Action & JSP using the Wizard (Ctrl-N, MyEclipse, Web-Struts, Struts 1.2, Struts 1.2 Form, action & JSP) and, for the Form, choose “Form Impl” – “DynamicFormBean” and “Dynamic Type” – “org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm”.

Then I added the Properties to the Form. Worked well.

However, I didn’t find a place to enter the Validation Rules for that Form.

Did I miss something here (i.e. a Way to add them using the Wizard) or will I have to create them manually, i.e. by Copy & Paste of the Form’s Properties to the validation.xml and then enter the Rules manually?

MTIA!

Ralf,
You will need to add them manually, the wizard doesn’t cover validation rules at this time.

thanks for the reply & the clarification! Is such a Feature on a Todo List (just searched the “Features”-Forum and didn’t find a request for such a Feature)?

Cheers,

Ralf,
Support for validation has been requested surprisingly few times, we are working on enhancing the struts tools but that wasn’t high on our list right now.
