Certficate validation question

When validating CA issued or Self signed, does it verify the expire time of the certificate and what are the consequences if the certificate is expired?
Basically in my application to connect to email server on SSL port I'm using self signed certificate which expires after certain period of time. Even though certificate is expired, it is not giving any warning or throwing any exception. I use case is that it should throw exception or give some warning message so that user will get the new certificate again. Can we force it to validate the expire time of certificate? If yes, how do we do that?
Thanks,

I am observing the same behaviour, i.e. a certificate which can successfully be used past it's expiration date as the expiry date seems NOT to be checked. As the original poster, my expectation was that the expiry date would be checked and the certificate become useless after expiry. I also think to remember having read somewhere about the SUN and the IBM implementations handling this differently - however back when I read these statements there were also remarks that this might be true for self-signed root certificates only (and back then I only used such certificates created with keytool for testing). However the certificate I have tested with now/today was a certificate created using OpenSSL and signed by myself as my own CA (so subject distinguished name != issuer distinguished name). But as said - I found that the expiry date still is being ignored.
The advise "If you need to check certificate expirations with the Sun JDK, attach a HandshakeCompletedListener and check it yourself" sounds good for scenarios where one has control over the source code. As I am using standard software, i.e. an Apache Derby Database Network server, and only 'activate' SSL usage by passing keystore and password information as command line parameters at server (/ client) start, I do not have such possibility.
So I would be interested - assuming the expiry date being ignored can be confirmed as intended behaviour - what the rational behind this design decision once made is and whether there would be reasons or even intentions to change the SUN implementation in this regards? (Note: If needed, I could supply ssl-debug messages returned when I start the server and the client [with -Djava.net.debug=ssl:record] for someone to review in order to confirm that the date is indeed ignored and no other reason leading to the behaviour I am observing. The output is quite long and I am not sure which parts are the critical ones and which messages I may be better not post to a public forum though).
As a work-around I could use two-way authentication in my specific case and remove the client certificate from the server truststore manually when I want the client certificate to no longer work - however this seems cumbersome and less elegant to me than if the expiry date would be used to what the name seems to suggest it was invented for.
So could/should this be an improvement request?
Thanks

Struts and validation question ?

hi,
i am using the struts framework for my application, i have a simple jsp logon page (username, password)
i have defined a validtion.xml file

</form-validation>i have also the validation-rules.xml file provided by the struts lib.
i would like to force the content of 'username' property to be alphabetic.
i guess i have to create my own element
<validator name="alphabeticString"...> inside the validation-rules.xml file, but i am newbie in javascript programming.
i have tree question.
1) why the validation code inside the validator element is written in javascript since it's not going to be executed at client side???
2)can i use java instead ? (to code teh validation ...)
3)has anyone got a code to solve this problem ?
thanks for your help

i would like to force the content of 'username' property to be alphabetic.
i guess i have to create my own element
<validator name="alphabeticString"...> inside the validation-rules.xml file,
but i am newbie in javascript programming.Not for something that simple... there's a validator rule called mask, which takes a regular expression as an argument, so if you want only a-z: "[a-zA-Z]*" should work.
1) why the validation code inside the validator element is written in javascript since it's not going to be executed at client side???It is validated on the client, or can be. You have to include the javascript with the html:javascript tag library tag and specify the form name. Then you need to put the onsubmit="return validateFormName();" attribute in the form tag. If JS isn't supported, it'll still default back to the server side validation.
2)can i use java instead ? (to code teh validation ...)Don't include the JS stuff.

Table validation question

Hi
I have created 2 tables zposition, zwork.
The fields in zposition is department and position.
The fields in zwork is empid, department, position, firstname and lastname.
I wanted to create a validation that when i insert the data into the zwork, the system will automatically check against the zposition tables for the department and position that was store inside it. How do i do it?

in ur zwork table where u find the fields department and position..
in the table fields of zwork just put the cursor on this field say department and click the key button(on the top) it will propose for a check table and in there give the zposition table relavant field department.
the answer is there in ur question itself ...
// check against the zposition tables for the department and position--> u need to propose the check table on that field .
so all in ur are validating the zwork department entry with zposition department field..

Data Template construction AND data template validation questions:

Hello World.
I am new to Oracle BI and I have sucessfully used the BI Java APIs to create from start to finish a pdf report process. I use the DataProcessor, RTFProcessor, and FOProcessor classes to do this. My question is other than the most simple of Data Templates being used, how is everyone building their data templates? And I would also like to know how are developers validating the actual data template file? I have submitted a request through my MetaLink account for obtaining either a "dtd" or "xsd" file that could be used to validate a constructed data template. I have not received any real answers. I plan on using either XMLSpy or MyEclispse 6 to create my data templates, but I need a "rule book" dtd or xsd file in order to use the auto prompting feature. Making a data template "in the dark" cannot be the method of choice for all of the developers that visit this forum. I see some really fancy/detailed reports and I would like to see how people are building there data templates. Building the data template is at least half the battle when constructing a BI report.
Thanks for your time.

Notepad is the developer's choice for data definitions, seriously.
I have seen and used XMLSpy and have Stylus Studio but they are really a bit of overkill for the data templates. I use Stylus Studio for some of our XML-FO format templates, but that is another story.

Validator Question

Hi i am creating an application where a user simply enters their details such as name, email etc which should be then validated using the validator. If the details are correct it should redirect the user to my Acknowledge page, however if not it will put the user back to the original part displaying error messages to re-enter their details. Now as it stands i already have the a form for the user to enter their details, enterStudentDetails.jsp, and i am trying to test that their email is not left blank but when i do leave it blank, and hit the submit button, it goes into my Acknowledge.jsp page. That is the issue i have at the moment, and i am trying use the validator to check the input on the server side to display the error message.
enterStudentDetails.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean" prefix="bean" %>

The taglib directive below imports the JSTL library. If you uncomment it,
you must also add the JSTL library to the project. The Add Library... action
on Libraries node in Projects view can be used to add the JSTL 1.1 library.

</form-validation>Now, i have read a few articles on the subject but i am slighly confused in that in terms of creating a bean does it necessarily nead to be a dynamic bean? or can i still keep the one that i have right now for me to use validator. Can somebody provide some insight on what i would need to do because i am slighly confused.
Thanks.

oh, i didn't realize i could do that. I acutally already
found a way to do it, if a whole bunch of if statments :) mhehe,
but it works. i'lll try to do it your way :)
another question. It seems that in my functions if i
reference a field which is located on a different tab, it does not
recoglize it, and i get a runtime error, unless i click on that
tab, before clicking on the "validate" button.
does anyone know why it's not recognizing it? do i need to
somehow declare that field in my init()?
Thanks!

XML SCHEMA validation question

i'm using jdk 1.4.2 and am trying to validate an xml document against an xml schema. i don't have any packages like xerces or apache and am trying to avoid having to use them. i've had a look at the jdk 1.5 api documentation, and it seems to have some new classes dedicated to xml validation using schemas that 1.4.2 does not have (e.g. the Schema class). my question is, is it possible to do xml validation against a schema only using jdk 1.4.2 and without the likes of the xerces and apache parser packages?
any help much appreciated, thanks

The tutorial on Schema Validation parses/validates with the SAXParserFactory. J2sdk 1.4.2 JAXP has an error in the implementation of the SAXParserFactory. Parse/validate with the DocumentBuilderFactory instead of the SAXParserFactory.

Support of certficate validation

Hello Friends,
I'm making a research in mobile phone built in web browsers and for that i want to know whether the web browser of the sony ericsson mobile phone supports digital certificate validation when browsing secure websites?
I mean is it like FireFox, can support CRL or OCSP to know the status of the certificate when browsing secure websites?.
thank you.

Unfortunately I do not have the answers to all of your questions, however based on my experience the browser does support digital certificate validation.

XSLT Validation Question

Well I'm diving into XSLT for the first time. I've gotten the RSS feed to display just fine, but my problem is with the XHTML 1.0 strict validation and it could just be DW.
What I have is a XSLT fragment file, saved as .xsl, with the feed. I then used the server behaviors to add the fragment to my primary PHP document. It seems that when DW adds this code into a PHP document it adds a script to the document and then includes the xsl file where I place it on the page. However, the beginning of the XSL file shows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
That is the line that the validator says won't validate because the only place it is allowed is at the beginning of the file but since DW is including the xsl fragment file in the middle of a file it won't validate. Is the XSL fragment document still valid without that code at the top of it?

Maybe this helps?

Validation question

Here is my JSP code
<h:dataTable value="#{manageAssetMB.currbean.allAttrAssociations}" var="currAttrAssoc" >
<h:column>
<h:outputText id="input" value="#{currAttrAssoc.attr.name}" />
<h:outputText value="*" rendered="#{currAttrAssoc.mandatory}" />
</h:column>
<h:column>
<h:inputText id="input2" required="true" validator="#{manageAssetMB.control.validateInput }" value="#{currAttrAssoc.input }" rendered="#{currAttrAssoc.sizeOfPossibleValues == 0 && currAttrAssoc.mandatory}">
<f:validateLength maximum="500"/>
</h:inputText>
<div style="color: red"><h:message for="input2"/>
</div>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
my validation method:
public void validateInput(FacesContext context, UIComponent componentToValidate, Object value) {
System.out.println("hello world");
HtmlInputText component = (HtmlInputText) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().findComponent("input");
String name = value.toString();
System.out.println(name);
//System.out.println(component.getValue().toString());
if(component.getValue().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("Name")){
FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage("input Name");
throw new ValidatorException(message);
else if(component.getValue().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("Address")){
FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage("Wrong address");
throw new ValidatorException(message);
I want to get value (the title) of ID "input" which can be Name, Address. And afterwards in the validation i check what type of title it is and determine how to evaluate it using if/else if statement.
This doesn't work. Any idea on how to fix this?
thank you!

Duplicate the value for the outputText as the label of the inputText. E.g.
<h:outputText value="#{currAttrAssoc.attr.name}" />
<h:inputText id="input2"
value="#{currAttrAssoc.input}"
label="#{currAttrAssoc.attr.name}"
/>The standard messages will substitute the label when it is defined.

Java Digital Signature - certificate validation question

I am not sure if this is possible but here is my problem/question:
I need to publish a web based program in Citrix. My question is, everytime a user logs into Citrix and executes this application they are prompted to trust the Java certificate. Usually a user would choose "always trust" and they would not be prompted again. However, the Citrix environment is setup so that when a user logs out of Citrix all their user configuration is deleted. So the next time they log in, they are prompted once again to trust the Java cert.
Is there a way to automatically sign this certificate before it prompts a user or a way to script something that wouldn't ask the user again to validate this? Sorry if this sounds like I have no idea what I am talking about but I don't :)
The Citrix admin said he could launch this command or script (if possible) before the application is launched so it would sign the cert or place the needed cert in the users profile. Hope this makes sense.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Xmlagg -validation- question

Hi,
I'm using db version 9.2.0.7.0
Can someone explain me these differences when using xmlagg :
    select xmlagg(xmlelement( "object"
                            , xmlelement("name",object_name)
                            , xmlelement("type",object_type)
    from all_objects
    where rownum < 25;
    >>Output : Not pretty-printed
    create table tt_test_01
    ( col1 xmltype )
    insert into tt_test_01
    select xmlelement( "object"
                     , xmlelement("name",object_name)
                     , xmlelement("type",object_type)
    from all_objects
    where rownum < 25;
   select xmlagg(col1)
   from    tt_test_01
   >> Output : pretty-printedThis causes some troubles in my case.
The pretty print can cause validation errors, which I actually want to ignore
( for example -assume there is a chr(128) in the selected data- :
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00216: invalid character 128 (0x80)
Error at line 1
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1 I know that these characters aren't allowed in XML, however I don't want to get this error at this point, when selecting.
Can anyone explain me why method 1 doesn't validate
and method 2 does validate ?
Thanks in advance,
Art

In general XMLAGG should not pretty print. However whenever we parse we tend to pretty print. That said we do not support constucting invalid XML under any cirumstances so the only bug I see here is the fact that we do not throw the parsing error in all cases..

Newbie validation question!

Hey,
i 've just made the "BC4J Hotel Reservation System" sample from the oracle
site. : http://otn.oracle.com/products/bc4j/index2.htm?Code&listing.htm
Everythin compiled ok, and i used the provided validation code. Now when i
run the application-module tester (Jdeveloper)...i get the validation error
just when i dubbelclick one of the viewobjects, even before inserting any
data....Is the validation not supposed to be active only when entering new data?
give me a clue plz.

Please provide the validation error that is being caught. If you have required fields and are navigating to another row, you would get validation errors.

Struts2 Validation Question

I'm just starting on Struts and following a tutorial from a book that does validation. It uses xml config but I'm trying to get it to work with annotations. Everything seems to be right, including, on an error, it redirects to the right page. The problem is that the validation errors don't appear above the fields that have the problems, like they are supposed to. In fact, they don't appear anywhere. Strangely, if I put in the tag <s:fielderror /> then the correct errors appear where the tag is, but my understanding is that I do NOT need that tag and they SHOULD automatically appear under the appropriate fields.
Here's my JSP:
<s:form action="register">
     <s:textfield name="user.username" label="Username"/>
     <s:password name="user.password" label="Password"/>
     <s:textfield name="user.portfolioName" label="Enter a name for your portfolio"/>
    <s:submit/>
</s:form>Here's my Register action:
@Results({
    @Result(value="/security/RegistrationSuccess.jsp"),
    @Result(name="input",value="/security/Registration.jsp")
public class RegisterAction extends ActionSupport
    private User user; //we can use a user object and have the framework automatically instantiate it
    public String execute()
        getPortfolioService().createAccount( user );
        return SUCCESS;
    public User getUser() {
        return user;
    public void setUser(User user) {
        this.user = user;
    public void validate(){
        /* Retrieve our simple portfolio service object. */
        PortfolioService ps = getPortfolioService();
        /* Check that fields are not empty */
        if ( user.getPassword().length() == 0 ){
            addFieldError( "user.password", getText("password.required") );
        if ( user.getUsername().length() == 0 ){
            addFieldError( "user.username", getText("username.required") );
        if ( user.getPortfolioName().length() == 0 ){
            addFieldError( "user.portfolioName", getText( "portfolioName.required" ));
        /* Make sure user doesn't already have an account */
        if ( ps.userExists(user.getUsername() ) ){
            addFieldError("user.username", getText( "user.exists"));
    public PortfolioService getPortfolioService( ) {
        return new PortfolioService();

I take it back. I just restarted eclipse and tried it again and it works fine. There seems to be some problem with eclipse and tomcat where the old versions of files don't seem to be replaced by new versions of them. Anyone else using eclipse + tomcat and noticing this?

Inline Validation Question

I was wondering if it is possible to have two separate messages thrown in a validation. One that would show in the Notification area, and one that would show inline with the item.
The reason why I ask is that currently I have everything on a page very delicately lined up. When an error message fires, it pushes everything to the right, which messes up the alignment. Plus if multiple items on the same line throw errors, it no longer fits on the page like the users want.
I'd like to have the actual error message display at the top of the screen (notification area) and just the red X that Apex puts next to items that fail validation appear next to the item.
Thanks in advance.
Josh

Josh,
One way you could do this would be to set the validation to display both inline and in the notification area. Then edit (or create a copy and edit) the label template. There is a section of the template "Error Display". You could just remove the substitution #ERROR_MESSAGE# and the break tag. This way you are just left with the CSS class.
You could also add the error message as a title attribute to the div and the user would then get a tooltip.
eg <div class="t20InlineError" title="#ERROR_MESSAGE#">

TextInput Validation question

Hi,
I am looking to a validation for TextInput wherein the input has to be:
1. At least 6 words (yes, not albhabets/characters). Maximum 10 words.
2. Every word is of at least 2 characters.
Please provide help/links if you know a solution.
Thanks,
Sam

I think you can do what you want by using the valueCommit event of a TextInput control to trigger validation after a user enters information in the control
From there I'd use an array from .text.split(' ') to get the list of space separated chars/words.
You can then check the array length for number of words
and the length of each array element for the minimum 2 char requirement.
My suggestion..
Don
