Date Format Validation

[ksriram]

Hi,
I want to validate the date format in the page.I learn t that it can be done by using the ResourceMessageBundleSource.
Can someone site a an example on this.

Hi,


protected void initBinder(HttpServletRequest request,
ServletRequestDataBinder binder) throws Exception {
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(
dateFormat, true));
}

put the above code in your controller and during bind time itself spring will validate it, but it will throw an illegal argument exception if bind fails.

the command bean must have Date.class attribute.

In the jsp make the textfield readonly.

I have already put that code in the controller.

My doubt is, how to display that error message in the jsp page.
Can u give me an example

Use form:errors tag:


<form:input path="your_date"/>
<form:errors path="your_date"/>
In case of incorrect input, the binding fails and a SimpleFormController (I assume that you use SFC) will redirect user back to the form view and appropiate message should be displayed.
