validwhen and its use?

[Golla Vensiri]

While using vaildwhen in the following example picked up from the Apache site.

<field property="emailAddress" depends="validwhen">
<arg0 key="userinfo.emailAddress.label"/>
<var>
<var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>((sendNewsletter == null) or (*this* != null))</var-value>
</var>
</field>

Which reads as: this field is valid if sendNewsletter is null or the field value is not null.

Is there a way to have multiple test conditions. Meaning can we do this:-

<field property="emailAddress" depends="validwhen">
<arg0 key="userinfo.emailAddress.label"/>
<var>
<var-name>test1</var-name>
<var-value>((sendNewsletter == null) or (*this* != null))</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>test2</var-name>
<var-value>((sendStatusReport == null) or (*this* != null))</var-value>
</var>

</field>

It doesn't seem to work. Do we have any other way to accomplish the same.

Thanks.

you need to write your multiple conditions in the same test.

<field property="emailAddress" depends="validwhen">
<arg0 key="userinfo.emailAddress.label"/>
<var>
<var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>(((sendNewsletter == null) or (*this* != null)) or ((sendStatusReport == null) or (*this* != null)))</var-value>
</var>

</field>
