Struts Validation Framework Tutorial with example.

by · January 22, 2009

apache struts logo Apache Struts has changed the way we develop a Web application. Since its inception as an MVC architecture, Struts has been extensively used in J2EE world to develop robust, extendable and effective web applications.

Introduction to Struts Validation Framework

[ad name=”AD_INBETWEEN_POST”] One of the important features of Struts framework is Struts Validation framework that performs validation on incoming form data. Validation framework was introduced by David Winterfeldt as an external plugin to Struts framework. It’s functionality has since been split so that validator can serve as the basis for a independant component and is now part of Jakarta Commons. The Struts framework’s simple validation interface alleviates much of the headache associated with handling data validation, allowing you to focus on validation code and not on the mechanics of capturing data and redisplaying incomplete or invalid data. In order to do form validation without Validator framework, one has to use validate() method of the form bean (ActionForm class) to perform this task. Also one has to handle error messages during manual validation. Lot of fields that we validate require same logic to validate them, hence code is unneccessarily duplicated (if not managed properly). Validation framework comes with set of useful routines to handle form validation automatically and it can handle both server side as well as client side form validation. If certain validation is not present, you can create your own validation logic and plug it into validation framework as a re-usable component. Validator uses two XML configuration files to determine which validation routines should be installed and how they should be applied for a given application, respectively. The first configuration file, validator-rules.xml, declares the validation routines that should be plugged into the framework and provides logical names for each of the validations. The validator-rules.xml file also defines client-side JavaScript code for each validation routine. Validator can be configured to send this JavaScript code to the browser so that validations are performed on the client side as well as on the server side. The second configuration file, validation.xml, defines which validation routines should be applied to which Form Beans. The definitions in this file use the logical names of Form Beans from the struts-config.xml file along with the logical names of validation routines from the validator-rules.xml file to tie the two together. Using the Validator framework involves enabling the Validator plug-in, configuring Validator’s two configuration files, and creating Form Beans that extend the Validator’s ActionForm subclasses. The following sections explain in detail how to configure and use Validator.

Create a Struts project

Create a struts web application project. I assume you have working environment set for a Struts project. If not then go through the tutorial: Creating Struts application using Eclipse and create a struts project.

Create Form Beans

struts validator form bean Create a form bean in your project called CustomerForm and copy following code in it.
package net.viralpatel.struts.validation.form;

import org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorForm;

public class CustomerForm extends ValidatorForm {
	
	private String name;
	private String telephone;
	private String email;
	private int age;

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public String getTelephone() {
		return telephone;
	}

	public void setTelephone(String telephone) {
		this.telephone = telephone;
	}

	public String getEmail() {
		return email;
	}

	public void setEmail(String email) {
		this.email = email;
	}

	public int getAge() {
		return age;
	}

	public void setAge(int age) {
		this.age = age;
	}
}

Code language: Java (java)
We will use this validator plugin to validate this form. Note that the form bean is extended from class ValidatorForm and not ActionForm as we generally do in Struts project.

Add Validator Plug-in in struts-config.xml

In order to use Validator in our project we need to configure it in struts-config.xml file. For this add following code in your struts-config.xml file.
<!-- Validator Configuration -->
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
	<set-property property="pathnames"
		value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,
				/WEB-INF/validation.xml" />
</plug-in>

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
This definition tells Struts to load and initialize the Validator plug-in for your application. Upon initialization, the plug-in loads the comma-delimited list of Validator config files specified by the pathnames property. Each config file’s path should be specified by use of a Web application-relative path, as shown in the previous example.

Define validations for the form

validation.xml file struts validator framework Create a file validation.xml in your applications WEB-INF directory. And copy following content in it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC
          "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.1.3//EN"
          "http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_1_3.dtd">
<form-validation>
<global>
	<constant>
	<constant-name>telephoneFormat</constant-name>
	<constant-value>^\d{5,10}$</constant-value>
	</constant>
</global>
<formset>
	<form name="CustomerForm">
		<field property="name" depends="required">
			<arg key="label.name" />
		</field>
		<field property="age" depends="required, integer, intRange">
			<arg0 key="label.age" />
			<arg1 key="${var:min}" resource="false"/>
			<arg2 key="${var:max}" resource="false"/>
			<var>
				<var-name>min</var-name>
				<var-value>1</var-value>
			</var>
			<var>
				<var-name>max</var-name>
				<var-value>125</var-value>
			</var>
		</field>
		<field property="telephone" depends="required, mask">
			<arg key="label.telephone" />
			<arg1 key="label.telephone" />
			<var>
				<var-name>mask</var-name>
				<var-value>${telephoneFormat}</var-value>
			</var>
		</field>
		<field property="email" depends="email">
			<arg0 key="label.email" />
			<arg1 key="label.email" />
		</field>
	</form>
</formset>
</form-validation>

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
In the above xml file, we have defined the rules for form validation. Note that we are validating form CustomerForm and the fields being validated are name, age, telephone and email. <field> tag defines the validation for a property of form. We can specify different rules like required, integer, email, intRange, mask etc in depends attribute of field tag.. Also you can define constants that can be reused in the validation xml using global constants tag.

Struts-config.xml entry for the action

Following is the entry in struts-config.xml file which maps the Action to our Validator form.
<form-beans>
	<form-bean name="CustomerForm"
		type="net.viralpatel.struts.validation.form.CustomerForm" />
</form-beans>
...
...
...
<action-mappings>
...
	<action path="/customer" name="CustomerForm" validate="true"
		input="/index.jsp"
		type="net.viralpatel.struts.validation.action.CustomerAction">
		<forward name="success" path="/Customer.jsp" />
		<forward name="failure" path="/index.jsp" />
	</action>
...
</action-mappings>

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Configuring ApplicationResources.properties

Struts validation framework uses externalization of the error messages. The messages are stored in a property file (ApplicationResource.properties) and are referred by the key values. Copy following in your ApplicationResource.properties (or MessageResource.properties).
label.name= Name
label.email= Email
label.telephone= Telephone
label.age= Age


# general error msgs
errors.header=<font size="2"><UL>
errors.prefix=<LI><span style="color: red">
errors.suffix=</span></LI>
errors.footer=</UL></font>
errors.invalid={0} is invalid.
errors.maxlength={0} can not be greater than {1} characters.
errors.minlength={0} can not be less than {1} characters.
errors.range={0} is not in the range {1} through {2}.
errors.required={0} is required.
errors.byte={0} must be an byte.
errors.date={0} is not a date.
errors.double={0} must be an double.
errors.float={0} must be an float.
errors.integer={0} must be an integer.
errors.long={0} must be an long.
errors.short={0} must be an short.

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Create JSP to display the form

Create a JSP file called index.jsp and copy following content in it.
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean" prefix="bean"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Struts Validation Framework example.</title>
</head>
<body>

<html:errors />
<html:javascript formName="CustomerForm" />

<html:form action="/customer">

	<bean:message key="label.name" />
	<html:text property="name"></html:text>
	<br />
	<bean:message key="label.age" />
	<html:text property="age"></html:text>
	<br />
	<bean:message key="label.email" />
	<html:text property="email"></html:text>
	<br />
	<bean:message key="label.telephone" />
	<html:text property="telephone"></html:text>
	<br />

	<html:submit value="Submit"></html:submit>

</html:form>
</body>
</html>

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

    Hi JJ,
    CustomerAction class file is a normal implementation of Action class that does not have anything special in it. The error handling is done using Validation framework. CustomerAction class will not be invoked in case of any validation errors.

    Hi Neeraj,
    Can you give the list of the jars that you have used in the project. Check struts-validation jar and struts.jar file. Open these jars and see if the class ValidatorResources is available. I am very sure the problem is with the jar only.

    first: when i use in my project
    it will create lots of js code in my html page code .Can it only create the js which is i defined in
    the validate.xml,for example i defined “ ” ,it only create the required js.

    second : when i use validation in service and validate is failed ,how my client html field onfoucs . for example html field ,when the user is validate failed ,how can on focus

    @marken, The javascript code that is being generated by Struts is not very configurable. When we use tag , it generates all those javascript. You may want to disable client side validation by removing this tag altogether.

    As I said, I am not aware of any mechanism provided by Struts to call onfocus of element if validation fails.

    I will suggest to use Struts validation for server side validation.

    I actually have a problem like Thulasiram one but client side :

    The error :
    Error 500: org/apache/commons/validator/ValidatorResources.get(Ljava/util/Locale;Ljava/lang/Object;)Lorg/apache/commons/validator/Form;

    appears in my browser when I try to reach the jsp (BEFORE filling the form). Do you have any idea?

    hello viral
    this tutorial has helped me a lot…
    I just wanted to know in jsp file what is “/customer” in ..is it a servlet?? also I m using Netbeans6.8 and glassfish v3 server why it is not compiling?? is it neccessary to use tomcat server?….kindly reply..

      @Neelam: The value “/customer” in index.jsp is action mapping. Note that in struts-config.xml we have defined action CustomerAction with path=”/customer”. This is mapped in JSP form using <html:form action=”/customer”>

      You must check the dependencies that you have in your project. The above example was created using Eclipse with Tomcat so it has Tomcat jars in dependencies. You may want to remove this and add Glassfish dependencies.

    thankyou so much for your reply….
    I have heared that Glassfish doesn’t have any control over Struts code ..is it true…b’coz I have addedd glassfish jars but its still not working…
    what I should do?
    do you have same example made in netbeans and glssfish…or can you give any tutorials related to this…
    please help

      @Neelam: You have to add all the jar files including struts jars in your project in order to compile without error. Glassfish is just a container that can run your servlet/j2ee code. To run a struts project you still will need struts jars.

    hi,
    is there anyway to short circuit the errors?
    That is, if there is any error with the first field. It should display the first field is required, and stop validating other fields.

    thanks.

    We can do the same in Struts 2,
    by using shortCircuit=”true”.
    is there any such attribute in struts 1 validation.xml

    We have a large website that uses struts 1.2.9 with validation. We found testing the server side validation, the errors are returned but the fields which are not html tagged on the screen are lost because we use request scope. Is there a way to direct the form validation to the action class to reload the form bean? Since we have large number of classes, would like to keep from having to do a large number of changes in each action class.

    Hi,

    I was wondering about this line “”, you put it into the code but you are not using it at all. By other hand, javascript code should be included into tags, i say “should” and not “must” because is not really mandatory but including javascript this way is just a matter of order. Back to the topic, that javascript line allows you to do the validation before the data is send to the server, so this saves you time and bandwidth, to use it you must add an event to your form, on the sample jsp code just put the form line like this: , so now instead of get some messages on the page body the messages will appear in a pop-up warning window
