Validation Struts2

[Anonyhm Poulette]

Hi,

First, sorry for my bad English.
I have a form which contains a field named "duree" which must be a float and required.
I have in my file ObjetAction-ObjetAction_saveObjet-validation.xml :

<field name="duree">
	<field-validator type="required">
		<message>duree is required</message>
	</field-validator>
</field>

The validation of the field's type is made automatically.
But when I enter a String for example, the message "duree is required" appears too.
How can I do to short-circuit this message when the type of field isn't correct?
Thanks you in advance for your answers.

Has anybody an idea?

I don't think so. I seem to remember a fair bit of trouble with number validation, like blank strings fail silently (due to type conversion), and the number validators check a range but don't check that the conversion is correct.
The solution in the linked topic appears to be to use a required String validator and a regex validator.

First, thank you for your answer!
Secondly, I have in my jsp :

<s:fielderror>
<s:param>duree</s:param>
</s:fielderror>

Since I use the tag <s:fielderror>, Struts 2 checks that what you enter in the field is of the same type as the attribute in the action.
In my action, the attribute "duree" is a BigDecimal.
So, if I enter "yyy" for example in my field "duree", the message "invalid field value" appears even if I haven't a field-validator in my xml file.
It's why I say that the validation of the field's type is made automatically.
My problem is when I enter an invalid value, my attribute stays "null" and also, the message "duree is required" appears too, and I wish have only
the message "invalid field value".
