Description
When using a VisitorFieldValidator in an action, the generated Javascript doesn't validate fields on the referenced POJO, i.e. the example I have below would only generate:
<script type="text/javascript">
function validateForm_createAccount()
</script>
I have two current workarounds, but they're a bit of a pain:
1) Using XML validation instead of annotations.
2) Not to use the VisitorFieldValidator model, and instead have the form fields referenced directly in the Action class.
Here's the code I've been using (a trimmed down version of it anyway 
)
AccountManagementAction.java:
public class AccountManagementAction extends ActionSupport
{
private Account account;
public Account getAccount()
{ return account; } @VisitorFieldValidator
public void setAccount(Account account)
...
}
Account.java:
public class Account
{
private String username;
public String getUsername()
{ return username; } @Validations(
requiredStrings = @RequiredStringValidator(trim = true, message = "Required"),
stringLengthFields = @StringLengthFieldValidator(
minLength = "2", maxLength = "10", trim = true,
message = "This must be between ${minLength} and ${maxLength} letters"),
regexFields = @RegexFieldValidator(expression = "^[0-9a-zA-Z]*$",
message = "Only plain letters and numbers are allowed")
)
public void setUsername(String username)
}
