Let's assume that there a field of type BigDecimal
in an action class as follows.
@Namespace("/admin_side")
@ResultPath("/WEB-INF/content")
@ParentPackage(value = "struts-default")
public final class TestAction extends ActionSupport
{
private BigDecimal price;
//Setter and getter.
@Validations(
requiredFields = {
@RequiredFieldValidator(fieldName = "price", type = ValidatorType.FIELD, message = "Price is mandatory.")},
fieldExpressions = {
@FieldExpressionValidator(fieldName = "price", expression = "price>0", shortCircuit = true, message = "Price cannot be less than or equal to zero.")})
@Action(value = "Add",
results = {
@Result(name = ActionSupport.SUCCESS, type = "redirectAction", params = {"namespace", "/admin_side", "actionName", "Test"}),
@Result(name = ActionSupport.INPUT, location = "Test.jsp")},
interceptorRefs = {
@InterceptorRef(value = "defaultStack", params = {"params.acceptParamNames", "price", "validation.validateAnnotatedMethodOnly", "true"})
})
public String insert() {
return ActionSupport.SUCCESS;
}
//This method is worth nothing. It is used just to return an initial view on page load.
@Action(value = "Test",
results = {
@Result(name = ActionSupport.SUCCESS, location = "Test.jsp"),
@Result(name = ActionSupport.INPUT, location = "Test.jsp")},
interceptorRefs = {
@InterceptorRef(value = "defaultStack", params = {"params.acceptParamNames", "", "params.excludeMethods", "load", "validation.validateAnnotatedMethodOnly", "true"})})
public String load() throws Exception {
return ActionSupport.SUCCESS;
}
}
And following is the form.
<s:form namespace="/admin_side" action="Test" id="dataForm" name="dataForm">
<s:fielderror fieldName="price"/>
<s:textfield id="price" name="price"/>
<s:submit value="Submit" action="Add"/>
</s:form>
I want to achieve,
@RequiredFieldValidator
@FieldExpressionValidator
.Either one conversion error or one validation error should appear at a time.
Is this possible? I do by far not understand properly the function of the shourtCircuit
attribute.
At the first glance haven't seen so much. But looking at the Type Conversion Error Handling I'd say that there's a way to handle conversion errors. By adding a conversion validator to the configuration which is short-circuit validator. Short-circuit means that if such validator has errors other validators are skipped.
conversionErrorFields = @ConversionErrorFieldValidator(fieldName = "price", message = "Price has invalid value", shortCircuit = true)
place this code under @Validations
annotation.
