application.properties

[Mike Floyd]

hi, anyone knows how to modify the numeric values into the file "application.properties" !!!
p.e.
errors.range={0} is not in the range {1} through {2}.

{1} & {2} !
thanks

well typically, the values {0}, {1}, etc...represent words or phrases that you need to supply.

For your example...

errors.range={0} is not in the range {1} through {2}.

Could actually read something like this: 11 is not in the range 1 through 10.

I personally only know how to do this inside the validation framework that comes with struts...

validator.xml

    <form name="<yourForm>">
      <field property="pollNumber" depends="required, numberrange">
        <arg key="<actually, don't know how to get this value" position="0"/>
        <!-- i actually think that the 0 value is supplied by the validator framework itself.  Also, the two bottom keys might be supplied too. -->
        <arg key="<yourForm>.lowvalue.displayname" position="1"/>
        <arg key="<yourForm>.highvalue.displayname" position="2"/>
      </field>
    </form>

then in your application.properties file you would need to have both <yourForm>.lowvalue.displayname, and <yourForm>.highvalue.displayname defined.

<yourForm>.lowvalue.displayname=1
<yourForm>.highvalue.displayname=10

Hopefully, this sends you in the right direction.

Best of Luck,

Thanks a lot,
now a new problem rises, i've tried to implement a validator that compare two fields,(p.e. 2 passwords).
it doesn't works, but i've not succesful to do this, above i report the pieces od code that would have to work for this objective !

file: validation.xml

  <field property="pwd_1"
        depends="required,twofields">
        <arg0 key="signupForm.password"/>
        <var>
        <var-name>pwd_2</var-name>
        <var-value>signupForm.password2</var-value>
        </var>
</field>  

file: validation-rules.xml

<validator name="twofields" 
    classname="utils.ValidationUtil" method="validateTwoFields" 
    methodParams="java.lang.Object,
                  org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
                  org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
                  org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
                  javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest" 
   depends="required" msg="errors.twofields">
 
</validator>  

class utils.ValidatorUtil

 package utils;
 
import org.apache.struts.validator.Resources;
import org.apache.struts.action.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import org.apache.commons.validator.*;
 

 
public class ValidationUtil{
    
 
public static boolean validateTwoFields( Object bean, ValidatorAction va,
                            Field field,  ActionErrors errors, HttpServletRequest request) {
    String value = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean, field.getProperty());
    String sProperty2 = field.getVarValue("secondProperty");
    String value2 = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean, sProperty2);
    if (!GenericValidator.isBlankOrNull(value)) {
        try {
            if (!value.equals(value2)) {
                errors.add (field.getKey(),
                        Resources.getActionError(request, va, field));
                return false;
            }
        }catch (Exception e) {
                errors.add(field.getKey(), Resources.getActionError(request, va, field));
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
 }
} 

file Application.properties

 signupForm.password =  password
signupForm.password2 = seconda password 
errors.twofields = La  {0} deve essere uguale alla {1} .
 

Anyone can see where is the error?
Thanks in advance !!!
