intRange validations

[Padmini Nagarajan]

Struts validator framework provides us with and intRange validation and can be used as below. My doubt here is , is there anyway that var-value can refer to a property instead of hard coded values like 10, 20 etc.
i.e I want to validate the range against another form property .

<field
property="integer"
depends="required,integer,intRange">
<arg0 key="typeForm.integer.displayname"/>
<arg1
name="intRange"
key="${var:min}"
resource="false"/>
<arg2
name="intRange"
key="${var:max}"
resource="false"/>
<var>
<var-name>min</var-name>
<var-value>10</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>max</var-name>
<var-value>20</var-value>
</var>
</field>

you can use the 'validwhen' rule instead of intRange IF you are using struts 1.2.x. validwhen allows you to pass in other properties. see struts user guide on the apache site for examples of 'validwhen'.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the reply. Tried validWhen rule and it works. But I still have a problem in displaying the error message.I am displaying a generic message like "Field XXX is not within the range,Please enter again" but now I need to display
a message like "Field XXX is not in the range ZZZ and YYY" Where ZZZ and YYY would again be dynamically generated values.
