Client Side Email Validation

I want to give a client side email validation in a insert screen.

This sounds like a generic ADF question that is not related to JHeadstart. Can you please ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at http://otn.oracle.com/discussionforums/jdev.html ?

Client Side Javascript Validation not Working in Struts 1.x version

hi,
I'm following the steps provioded in the below link for Javascript Client side validation but still it is not working.I'm struggling to get this work.
[http://www.visualbuilder.com/jsp/struts/tutorial2/pageorder/9/|http://www.visualbuilder.com/jsp/struts/tutorial2/pageorder/9/]
"The framework automatically generates the browser specific JavaScript and validate the data only at the client side."From the above statement i undertstand that framework itself generates the javascript function for validating the field mentioned in validations.xml file so that we dont have to explicitly write a javascript function for
validating the fields
(or)
Do we need to call an explicit function
Please need help on this.
I have followed all the steps mentioned on the above link but Client Side Javascript Validation not Working in Struts 1.x version....

Client-side form validation fails

Hi guys,
Below is a very simple form with some client side validation.
on submission it takes me to the results page with out popping an
error. I checked it in both IE and Firefox. I checked the source
after displaying the page and there are javascript elements built.
I am testing this on my local box, with coldfusion mx 7 on
apache.
Is there anything special I have to do with the server
settings, or browser settings or there something else.
Thanks,
Frank
<cfform action="save.cfm">
<p>
<cfinput type="text" name="first_name" required="yes"
message="enter your first name" validateat="onsubmit">
: First Name<br />
<cfinput type="text" name="last_name" required="yes"
message="enter your last name" validateat="onsubmit">
: Last Name<br />
<br />
Do you love me?<br /><br />
<cfinput type="radio" name="love" value="yes">
Yes<br />
<cfinput type="radio" name="love" value="no">
No<br />
<cfinput type="radio" name="love" value="Maybe">
Maybe<br />
<br />
How should we contact you?<br /><br />
<cfinput type="checkbox" name="contact" value="email">
Email?<br />
<cfinput type="checkbox" name="contact" value="paper
airplane">
Paper Airplane?<br />
<cfinput type="checkbox" name="contact" value="can
phone">
Can Phone?<br />
<br />
<cfquery name="temp" datasource="hrp">
SELECT distinct department.department_name
FROM department
</cfquery>
What department do you work for?<br /><br />
<cfselect name="dept" size="1" query="temp"
value="department_name" display="department_name">
</cfselect>
<br /><br />
<cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</p>
</cfform>

Odd, indeed. The validation Javascript works on my PC,
showing an alert. I only replaced your query with mine. There might
be something wrong with your installation of the Coldfusion system
folder, /CFIDE/scripts/.

Client Side Date Validation

I want to do a client side validation of a date field. Date which is coming from a calendar should not be greater than the system date.and shows a alert message at the time of form submit.

You will need to write a custom JSF converter to achieve this, see this link for more info:

Submitting form through server instead of client side email(outlook,Yahoo, ...)

What exactly I need, in order my clients submit a dynamic form posted on our web site to our sever?
Thank you for your help

Hi mmgiath,
This is fairly simple. All you need to have a HttpSubmitButton. Drag a HttpSubmitButton from the StandardObjectLibrary. Specify the URL you want to submit. Specify which type you want to submit. That's all.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Bibhu.

Struts 2 Client side validation getting skipped.

I am doing a simple program using struts 2. Usually in struts2 bean class will be combined with action class unlike in struts 1.2. But for enhancing readability I made a seperate bean class and I reference it in my action class. But after seperating bean from action class Client side validation using xml is not happening. It is getting skipped. But server side validation inside execute() is happening. Will anyone please help me to find a solution to make client side validation run.
here are the different files.

I was trying to do it through creating a new validators.xml where I would redefine all struts built in validations and add de definition for my custom Validation (<validator name="checkUser" class="com.custom.CustomUserValidator"/>). Then I define the ActionClassName-action-validation.xml refering to my custom validator (checkUser). The com.custom.CustomUserValidator Class has to extend FieldValidatorSupport or ValidatorSupoort (depending on what kind of validation).
Ok that's it, this is the theory, now the custom validator (checkUser) is executed before my action but I don't know how to do it so that if the validation fails i return to the same page showing the error message to the user without having to execute the target action. Does anyone know how to do this????

Struts client side validation....

Hello all,
I am using struts client and server validation but only the server validation works. I tired looking around the forum but wouldnt find any similar problem.
I am getting value from the previous action class and i am able to successfully retrieve and display the value. I inserted the value in a object and pass over to my jsp. When i try inserting the validation, the server side works fine but i get nth on the client side. I viewed the source code of my jsp and the JAVASCRIPT is successfully inserted but no pop up when i leave the fill blank. Please advise mi..
1)update.jsp will retrieve data from a object and display them in text box

Client Side Validation Problems

Hi,
When I use .Net validation controls on my aspx pages, the validation always executes server-side, even on IE clients, regardless of the EnableClientScript property on the validators.
If i hit the remote server directly, the validators work correctly - ie Client-side for IE and server side for all others.
So I assume that the remote server is unable to correctly identify the client browser as it's gatewayed via the portal. Does anyone know a way around this please?
Cheers,
Simon

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm a .Net developer who's new to Plumtree development, so my appologies if i'm missing something obvious.
We're using the Broadcast Listener pattern, Portal Server v 5.0.3, Web Controls 2.1 and .Net Framework 1_1_4322_2032. We've generated the client script to support this version of .Net and installed in onto the ImageServer.
We have a menu portlet, which broadcasts a 'linkSelected' event on click of a menu item. Our main portlet is the listener and has an event handler that invokes a PTGetHTTPRequest call to one of a number of page for processing (depending on the menu item selected etc). This 3rd page contains all of the form fields, the validators and the validation summary.
When this aspx page has finished processing, there is an event handler in the 2nd page which scrapes the content of Response.ResponseText into a container <DIV> element on page 2 - ie dynamically building the html content with client script.
I've built a routine that can scrape this dynamically generated content of the <body> of the Listener portlet at this stage and when I examine this output, the validation js file and the inline __doPostback functions are all present.
I've done some debugging of the WebUIValidation.js file and although each individual validator is firing ok, it appears that the problem is manifesting itself in the ValidationSummaryOnSubmit_1_1_4322_2032()function. This function is called correctly, but it can't evaluate the Page_ValidationSummaries object.
This Page_ValidationSummaries object is defined and set within the inline script as follows :
var Page_ValidationSummaries;
function PTSetValidationSummaries_490()
{ [/b]
[b] var valsInput = document.getElementById('PT_VALIDATORS_SUM_490');
if(valsInput)
Page_ValidationSummaries = eval(valsInput.value);
else Page_ValidationSummaries = new Array();
and the PT_VALIDATORS_SUM_490 element is defined as :
<INPUT id=PT_VALIDATORS_SUM_490 type=hidden value="new Array(document.all['vsAll'])">
and the vsAll element is defined as :
<DIV id=vsAll style="DISPLAY: none; COLOR: red" showmessagebox="True"></DIV>
If I debug the WebUIValidation.js file, I can successfully evaluate document.getElementById('PT_VALIDATORS_SUM_490'), so I believe that the error occurs when the PTSetValidationSummaries_490()function executes (or perhaps PTSetValidators_490isn't actually calling it??).
I can't really debug this any further as I've now traced the error back to the inline script that's appended at runtime by the Plumtree environment.
Would it be possible for me to email this source code to you for inspection and comment please?
Cheers,
Simon

How to Disable client side validation for the message text input

Hi,
I have scenario where i need to by pass the client side validation for a message text input
Scenario is
I have a message text input field(say XYZ), i set the max length for the item as 20
Now when im trying to enter the greek characters into it, it is allowing me to enter till 20 characters
But when i try to submit the form ..my client side validation is firing..
The Error says the XYZ is too long
The problem is, in greek each character takes two bytes.(In english it is only 1).While entering the content it allowing 20 characters and when validating it is checking for bytes(if we enter in greek the length will be 40 bytes not 20)
I cannot increase the max length .coz i have restrict the character length to 20 only.(english or Greek).
Please help me in this regard.
Regards
Sandeep.

Thanks for the information.But we dont have any option either declaratively or programatically to disable the client side validation for the message text input..I referred java docs ..i dint find any method which does..
Correct me if im wrong

Af:query client side validation

Hello,
I have an application with 2 ViewObjects (based on SQL), each with its own ViewCriteria. I have 2 pages, each containing 1 of the ViewCriteria as af:query with results table. Each ViewCriteria has a number of fields, all f which are selectively required.
Now, when I go to page A, leave all fields empty and hit 'search', my fields get marked immediately as 'you need to enter at least one of the criteria'. No server request, just pure client validation, as you'd expect. Now we go to page B, doing exactly the same (empty fields, search). I see a lot of activity now, a server request, a query executed, and then a stacktrace saying 'at least 1 attribute is required'. In the front end, I also get a popup saying I have to enter at least 1 value.
Does anyone have any idea why the validation for both af:query components is different? Both ViewObject look the same to me, with same properties and attributes set.
Thanks in advance,
Stijn.

Thanks for the reply, Vinod.
The problem still persists, though. We're working with version 11.1.3 (where the issue should be fixed), and it doesn't happen every time. 8 out of 10 af:query-components we use go to the server before validating the input, resulting in a popup. The other 2 do client-side validation and immediately tell you to fill in the blanks (which is the behaviour we want)...

STRUTS: client-side validation in jsp using DynaValidatorForm

I am supposed to work on struts on as project and it is like learning a crash course and work the next day.
In Struts 1.1 enviroment, I am using DynaValidatorForm to create a bean form and then perform validation.
1. I write a DynaValidatorForm definition in struts-config.xml
2. I write xml for action so that when /getQuotes.do in invoked by a jsp form, the form data is put into the QuoteDetailsBean.
3. add the plugin script for ValidatorPlugIn
xml fragment from struts-config:
//form bean
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="QuoteDetailsBean" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
    <form-property name="forename" type="java.lang.String"/>
   <form-property name="surname" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-bean>
</form-beans>
<action
        path="/getQuotes"
        type="com.kainos.quickquotes.struts.QQGetQuotesAction"
        validate="true"
        name="QuoteDetailsBean"
        input="/userform1.do"
        parameter="save"
        scope="session">
        <forward name="success" path="/pages/jsp/result.jsp"/>
        <forward name="back" path="/userform1.do"/>
</action>
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
     <set-property
         property="pathnames"
         value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>
</plug-in>Now I write a validation code for getQuotes.do. note that I can write the validation code with
<form name="QuoteDetailsBean"> but this form bean is shared by many jsp, so i am using the name of the action
(getQuotes) as the name of the form in the validation.xml.
So far this looks okay, as I am going by some example.
xml fragment from validation.xml:
<formset>
          <form name="/getQuotes">
             <field property="forename" depends="required,minlength">
                <arg0 key="QuoteDetailsBean.forename" />
                <arg1 name="minlength" key="${var:minlength}" resource="false"/>
                <var>
                   <var-name>minlength</var-name>
                   <var-value>2</var-value>
                </var>
             </field>
             <field property="surname" depends="required,minlength">
            <arg0 key="QuoteDetailsBean.surname" />
            <arg1 name="minlength" key="${var:minlength}" resource="false"/>
            <var>
               <var-name>minlength</var-name>
               <var-value>2</var-value>
            </var>
             </field>
</formset>Now I write the JSP. I use the <html:javascript> tag to allow front-end validation based on the xml in validation.xml.
The jsp code:
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<html:html locale="true">
<head>
<title><bean:message key="welcome.title"/></title>
<html:base/>
<html:javascript formName="/getQuotes"
            method="validateForm"
            dynamicJavascript="true"
            staticJavascript="false"
            cdata="false" />
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFCC9F">
<html:errors />
<html:form action="getQuotes.do" onsubmit="return validateForm(this);" >
Forename:</td> <td>��<html:text property="forename"/></td></tr>
<tr> <td>Surname:</td> <td>��<html:text property="surname"/></td></tr>
<html:submit value="Quotes" /></td></tr>
</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>Does this looks okay. I wrote so far based on some tutorials n help online.
Now when I open the JSP and then do a submit, there is no validation (I tried by submitting with empty forename and surname. I mean i could invoke the action class and the invoke class
redirects(forwards) to the appropriate path. so the code works fine except validation is not done
Q1. So what should i do more to get client-side validation?
What actually happens in client-side validation? does a pop up alert appears?
nothing happens so far in my case.
Q2. What should I do more for server side validation. Since the form is incomplete, what happens?
I thought the same form returns and the error messages are printed in the jsp page since i have the <html:errors />
tag just below the <body> tag.
The action class is pretty simple so far:
public class QQGetQuotesAction extends Action {
    public QQGetQuotesAction(){
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
             ActionForm form,
             HttpServletRequest request,
             HttpServletResponse response)
    throws Exception {
        DynaValidatorForm dynaform = (DynaValidatorForm)form;
        System.out.println("forename:"+dynaform.get("forename");
        System.out.println("surname:"+dynaform.get("surname");
        return forward=mapping.findForward("back");
}Please help me out. I think I am missing something which i need to do
thanks

I think the validations are to be declared on the form
name and not the action path.
Your formName is QuoteDetailsBean but your are using
the action path(/getQuotes) both in the validation
rules and the jsp tags. Use the formName on both the
places.
Also your html:javascript tag will not generate the
static javascript to validate the fields. For this you
will have to add code like below.
<html:javascript dynamicJavascript="false"
staticJavascript="true"/>
Other options is to set the attribute
staticJavascript="true" in your html:javascript tag.
Hope it helps.hi
staticJavascript="true" did the trick. :)
I think the validations are to be declared on the form name and not the action path.It is not necessary. You can declare the validation on the action class. This is essential if a form bean is shared by several JSPs having its own action class. This is as per as I read in a tutorial and it works.

Client side validation in struts using validation framework

Hi ,
am new to struts.....
I want to validate a simple login page using struts validation framework...
For that i created,
login.jsp ( contains html:errors and html:javascript and onsubmit)
LoginForm extends ValidatorForm
LoginAction
resource bundles
validation.xml ( required, minlength and maxlength rules for both fields)
struts-config.xml ( configured action mapping and form beans)
whats my problem is....
i will get error messages through server side validation...
i cant able to get the error messages using javascript i.e alert messages.
i seen the page resource in that all javascript functins are inserted.
on seeing the javascript error console... it shows
formName has no properties...............
exactly at this line
oRequired = eval('new ' + formName.value + '_required()'); //function validateRequired(form)

Thanks for your valuable reply.....
Ya of course what you said was correct....
I got error messages while submitting the form without any value....
error messages are displayed using the <html:errors/> tag (server side validation ).
But it fails to show the alert messages for those errors ( client side validation).
i inserted the <html:javascript formName="form bean name" /> tag in the bottom of my login jsp.....
on seeing the error console, it shows formName has no properties.
Could anybody help me to sort out this problem........

Client side validations in web dynpro

Hi experts,
can anybody tell me How we perform client side validations in web dynpro ?
Thanks,
Prasad.

Hi Prasad,
Validations are generally required during some events or calls to a functions. So there are bascially two ways:
1) You do the validation is the onActionEvent of the UI element. However this is some time time is not a right approach (depends upon your scenario).
2) There is another method called wdDoBeforeAction(). Do all you validations for the actions in this method. read the java doc for the same functions, here:
   * Hook method called for additional validation of user input. <p>
   * @param validation Interface for reporting validation errors
You can catch the particualr action in this emthod and then can write you validation code before the action is called.
For gettiong the action use this code:
if(validation.getCurrentAction().equals(IPrivate<Your_View_Name>.WDActionEventHandler.<ACTION_NAME>)){
// write your validation code here.
I hope this will help you. Please revert back in case you have further issues.
Thanks and Regards,
Pravesh
