Struts validator - rule in one place

[Per]

Hi there,

I have a question concerning Struts validator framework:

If have the same attribute for example salary in two forms is there any possibility
to define the validation rule in one place.
So that my form-field can depend on that rule.

regards


<form-validation>
<formset>

<form name="userFormVF">
<field property="userId" depends="required">
<arg0 key="prompt.userId"/>
</field>
<field property="salary" depends="double">
<arg0 key="prompt.salary"/>
</field>
</form>

<form name="userFormDVF">
<field property="userId" depends="required">
<arg0 key="prompt.userId"/>
</field>
<field property="salary" depends="double">
<arg0 key="prompt.salary"/>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
</form-validation>

What you could do is write a small application which would generate
the validation XML file automatically. You could implement the ability
to share field definitions between forms, etc.
I'm actually working on such a tool to make it easier for some people
to generate the configuration files for validation and multi-page
forms. Of course you end up creating a new file format which contains
meta-date about your FormSet... ;-)

Good question !!

I don't know if it is possible, but I suggest you to try your validation on
a BaseUserForm (extending ActionForm), superclass of UserFormVF &
UserFormDVF... Let me know if it is working !!
