Struts validation issue: Cannot load a validator resource

[Prasanth Pillai]

Hi,

My application was working till I added the following part in the struts-config.xml file.


After that when I start my JBoss server, I am getting the following error.

javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Cannot load a validator resource from '/org/apache/struts/validator/validator-rules.xml, /WEB-INF/validation.xml'

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Are validator-rules.xml and validation.xml files in the same WEB-INF folder?

rgds,

seetesh

[Prasanth Pillai]

yes both the files are in WEB-INF folder. I think the issue is with my jar files. I developed the application with struts 1.1. Now I want to implement the automatic validation in the application. When I start the JBoss server I am getting the errors mentioned earlier.

[Prasanth Pillai]

When I add the following in struts-config.xml, I am getting the below mentioned error while starting the server.

/***********************Struts entry**********************/

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames"
value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,
/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>
</plug-in>
/***********************END of Struts entry**********************/

I have not done any changes other than the above. Before adding this code to the struts-config.xml, the application was starting without any errors and application works fine.

Please advice.

[Merrill Higginson]

Does the server you are running this on have internet connectivity? From the stack trace, it looks like the failure occurs when the xml parser is trying to find the URL for the DTD. If you don't have internet connectivity on this box, I'd suggest copying the DTD to the local server and changing the URI in the xml files to point to the local copy.

[Prasanth Pillai]

yeah I do have a internet connectivity. Apparently I have tried that option also (copying the dtd to local machine). I shall try again. But the question is, in that case I application should not work before also, because my struts-config.xml also contains DTD reference.

[Prasanth Pillai]

I have copied the DTDs to local machine & have the physical location directly (as a work around). Though the server is starting without errors, the application does not showing any java script messages. I feel that when I gave the physical path directly, the validation plug in is not trying to get it. here is the change I did in the struts-config.xml.

/*******************************************************************/
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames"
value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validations.xml"/>
<set-property property="stopOnFirstError" value="false"/>
</plug-in>
/*******************************************************************/

the <set-property property="stopOnFirstError" value="false"/> added for precaution. with out that line also, its not working.

At the top of the struts-config.xml, I made the following changes for DTD.

/*******************************************************************/

I made the follwoing changes
In validation.xml & validator-rules.xml, in the top,

<!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC
        "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.3.0//EN"
        "file:///E:/Project/TNZ/web/WEB-INF/dtds/validator_1_3_0.dtd">

when I did so, I got the following error.

/***************************************************/
09:31:11,073 INFO [ValidatorPlugIn] Loading validation rules file from '/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml'
09:31:11,119 INFO [ValidatorPlugIn] Loading validation rules file from '/WEB-INF/validations.xml'

oh that problem resolved. The file name in struts-config.xml was validations.xml & the physical file name was validation.xml. Now that error is not coming. Still i am not getting the desired js error pop up. I am working on it.

[Prasanth Pillai]

now I am getting the following error. (java.lang.NoSuchMethodException)

that issue also resolved. what I found was there are descrepancies in the method signature in the validateRequired method. Some places it is mentioned that

<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.ActionErrors,
org.apache.commons.validator.Validator,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
msg="errors.required">

But in my project enviornment the signature was different.

<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.ActionErrors,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
msg="errors.required"/>

So I changed the validator-rules.xml accordingly. Then the error vanished. I am sure I am using the wrong versions of XMLs .

Now I can see the text error messages in the screen, but I can't see any javascript pop up for some reason.!!!

I am unable to see any of the javascript error pop ups. But able to see the text error messages in the JSP screen. Here is the code in validations.xml file.

<form name="myActionForm">
            <field
                property="userName"
                depends="required">
                    <arg key="myActionForm.userName"/>
            </field>
            <field
                property="password"
                depends="required">
                    <arg0 key="myActionForm.password"/> 
                   <!-- <msg name="required" key="myActionForm.password"/> -->
                                      
                 
            </field> 
        </form>

I have added the required code in the JSP as well to enable the javascript validation. Did I miss anything here?

I am not able to see the java script error message pop up. Where as I see all the error message on the screen it self. Do I need to do any thing other than the below mentioned code to enable the javascript validation?
Also I believe the struts automatically writes the java script method.

this is the JSP code

 <CENTER><html:errors/></CENTER>
<html:form action="/login.jspx" method="post" onsubmit="return validateMyActionForm(this);" >
 
<html:javascript formName="MyActionForm"/>
   

Since I can see all the proper error messages in the result screen, I assume that the code in validations.xml, validator-rules.xml, properties and struts-config.xml file are correct.

Please let me know why the JS message pop is not coming?

[Merrill Higginson]

Did you specify validate="true" in your action mapping?

[Prasanth Pillai]

yes I did. As I mentioned earlier, the validation is happening, I guess. I am getting the text error messages in the screen

[Merrill Higginson]

Use your browser's "view source" utility to view the generated HTML for the page. Do you see some JavaScript functions added to the page? If not, that means that your <html:javascript> tag didn't work for some reason.

Assuming you do see the JavaScript functions: First of all, check to make sure javaScript is enabled in your browser. Then check to see if there are any JavaScript errors when the page is displayed. If you're using Internet Explorer you can tell this by a small "!" icon in the lower left part of the screen. If so, click on the icon to get the details of the error and post them here.

Assuming there are no errors when the page is displayed, change the settings in your browser as follows:

* Select Tools-->Internet Options from the menu
* Click the Advanced tab
* Make sure that "Display a notification about every script error" is checked
* Click OK

Once you've done this, press the submit button. Is a JavaScript error displayed? If so post the message here.

[Prasanth Pillai]

I did all those mention by you. No errors. here is the javascript function which is generated.

<script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript1.1"> 
 
<!-- Begin 
 
     var bCancel = false; 
 
    function validateMyActionForm(form) {                                                                   
        if (bCancel) 
      return true; 
        else 
       return true; 
   } 
 
 
 
 
//End --> 
</script>

[Merrill Higginson]

This is the JavaScript that would be generated if validation is turned off for this form.

Are you 100 percent sure that validation is turned on? The folowing must be there:

<action path="whatever" name="MyActionForm" validate="true" ... />

[Prasanth Pillai]

yeah, here is the code snippet. The only difference is my login.jsp is calling another page loginBody.jsp, where the actual validation is required. I have all these code inside the loginBody.jsp.(just FYI, I have tried with input="loginBody.jsp" in struts-config.xml, just for confirmation.)

<action path="/login" 
        name="MyActionForm" 
        type="com.xxx.xxx.xx.ui.action.MyLoginAction"  
        scope="request" 
        [B]validate= "true" [/B]
        input="/xxx/Login.jsp">

[Merrill Higginson]

I'm not sure if this is just a copy error, but the code you posted has a space after the equal sign that shouldn't be there:

validate= "true"

If it's there in your actual code, take it out. Believe it or not, this small thing could be the problem.

[Prasanth Pillai]

I tried by removing the space also. But all in vain!!! Still I see the same javascript function generated as earlier.

[Prasanth Pillai]

this is my struts-config.xml

 <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
       "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN"
       "file://E:/Project/TNZ/web/WEB-INF/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">
 
 

<struts-config>
   
  <form-beans>
    <form-bean name="MyActionForm" type="com.test.ui.actionform.MyActionForm" />
</form-beans>
<action-mappings>
  
  <action path="/login" 
          name="MyActionForm" 
          type="com.test.ui.action.MyLoginAction" 
          validate="true" 
          input="/test/Login.jsp">
 <forward name="success"     
                  path="/simulator/Option.jsp"/>
  </action>
</action-mappings>
     
     <message-resources parameter="MyProperty" /> 
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
  <set-property property="pathnames"
   value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validations.xml"/>
  </plug-in>
</struts-config>

       

and in the JSP code, I have

   
 
<CENTER><html:errors/></CENTER>
<html:form action="/login.jspx" method="post" onsubmit="return validateMyActionForm(this);" >
 
<html:javascript formName="MyActionForm"/>
 

 

Let me know I am missing something here!

[Prasanth Pillai]

any idea about the issue?
