Validator not working

**kolobear** · Jun 7th, 2012, 09:51 AM

I am having issues with getting a validator to work. I appreciate any help in identifying the issue.

I am using an MVC + Web Flow configuration.

Here is web.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
  <display-name>project123</display-name>
  <listener>
    <listener-class>
    	org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
    </listener-class>
  </listener>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>mvcwebflowDispatcher</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
      <param-value>
                /WEB-INF/config/*servlet.xml
      </param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>mvcwebflowDispatcher</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>/WEB-INF/jsp/redirect.jsp</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
  <servlet>
    <description></description>
    <display-name>TestServlet</display-name>
    <servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.website.project123.servlet.TestServlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/TestServlet</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Here is my spring configuration:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

My action beans are defined in this separate spring configuration:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:webflow="http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow-config"
       xsi:schemaLocation="
                       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
                       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
                       http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow-config
                       http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow-config/spring-webflow-config-2.3.xsd">	
    
    <bean id="entity1SearchAction" class="com.website.flow.action.Entity1SearchAction" />
    
    <bean id="entity2SearchAction" class="com.website.flow.action.Entity2SearchAction" />
    
    <bean id="registrationAction" class="com.website.flow.action.RegistrationAction" />
    
</beans>

And my validation bean is in it's own separate spring configuration too:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:webflow="http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow-config"
       xsi:schemaLocation="
                       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
                       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
                       http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow-config
                       http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow-config/spring-webflow-config-2.3.xsd">	

    <bean id="registrationValidator" class="com.website.flow.validator.RegistrationModelValidator" />
       
</beans>

Here is my validator class:

Code:

package com.website.flow.validator;

import java.util.regex.Pattern;

import com.website.config.Resources;
import com.website.flow.model.RegistrationModel;

import org.springframework.validation.Errors;
import org.springframework.validation.Validator;

import com.website.libraries.logging.LogManager;
import com.website.libraries.util.WebUtil;

public class RegistrationModelValidator implements Validator {
	
	public static final String SOURCE_NAME = "RegistrationModelValidator";
	public static final String REGEX_FIELDNUMBER = "[0-9]{9}";

	@Override
	public boolean supports(Class<?> clazz) {
		return RegistrationModel.class.isAssignableFrom(clazz);
	}

	@Override
	public void validate(Object obj, Errors errors) {
		LogManager.debug(Resources.LOG_DIRECTORY, SOURCE_NAME, "Entering RegistrationModelValidator.validate()...");
		RegistrationModel model = (RegistrationModel) obj;
		if (model.isReadyToRegister()) { // the user has verified the fieldNumber is not in the system and can now submit a registration application
			
		} else { // the user is attempting to begin registration and needs to verify the fieldNumber is not in the system
			if (WebUtil.isEmptyString(model.getName())) {
				errors.reject("error.name-required", "name is required");
			}
			if (WebUtil.isEmptyString(model.getfieldNumber())) {
				errors.reject("error.fieldNumber-required", "fieldNumber is required");
			} else if (!Pattern.matches(REGEX_FIELDNUMBER, model.getfieldNumber())) {
				errors.reject("error.fieldNumber-invalid-format", "fieldNumber must be numbers only and 9 digits in length");
			}
		}
		LogManager.debug(Resources.LOG_DIRECTORY, SOURCE_NAME, "Exiting RegistrationModelValidator.validate()...");
	}

}
