validator framework

[pavanasree vasireddy]

hello,

I am using validator framework in my application. For client side validations I am writing the code validation-rules.xml. I would like to display the error messages which are defined in the application resources.
please let me know whether it is possible or not?

thanks in advance.

There should be a basic implementation of the rules file that came with your struts or validator distribution. If you notice, it indeed uses properties specified in the ApplicationResources.properties -- so long as you specified it in your struts-config.xml file, anyway!

Consider...

 
<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">

Note the msg="errors.required" attribute.

hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I agree that "msg" attribute use ApplicationResources properties. In my application i would like to use javascript validations. I writing my javscript validations in the <javascript> tag in validation-rules.xml. I want to display the alert messages using application resources.
