Spring MVC Validation issue
I have created a web-app using Spring 2.5. I am using the Validation methods that Spring describes in there tutorial and I seem to get Validation before the form is even shown. here is my code...
servlet xml:
************************************************** ****

It is only the addrecipesController that is giving me a problem... Here is the code for it
AddRecipesController
************************************************** *****
public class AddRecipesController extends SimpleFormController{
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(AddRecipesController.class);
protected Object formBackingObject(HttpServletRequest request)
throws ServletException {
WineService wineService = BeanFactory.newWineService();
return wineService;
}
protected ModelAndView processFormSubmission(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, Object command, BindException errors) {
logger.info("in process form submission");
WineService wineService = (WineService)command;
wineService.saveWineData();
logger.info("saved wine data");
if(errors.getAllErrors().size() > 0){
try{
return showForm(request, response, (BindException)errors);
}catch(Exception e){
logger.error("couldnt show form: [" + e + "]");
}
}
return new ModelAndView(getSuccessView());
}
}
************************************************** *****
Here is the Validator
AddRecipeValidator
************************************************** *****
public class AddRecipeValidator implements Validator {
public boolean supports(Class givenClass) {
return givenClass.equals(WineService.class);
}
public void validate(Object obj, Errors errors) {
WineService wineServ = (WineService) obj;
if(wineServ == null) {
errors.reject("error.nullpointer", "Null data received");
} else {
/* Test givenData’s fields here */
if(wineServ.getName().equals("")) {
errors.rejectValue("name", "error.code",
"Wine name was null, please enter a name");
}
if(wineServ.getNutrient() == null || wineServ.getNutrient().equals("")){
errors.rejectValue("nutrient", "error.code",
"Nutrient was null, please enter 'true' or 'false'");
}
if(wineServ.getYeast() == null || wineServ.getYeast().equals("")){
errors.rejectValue("yeast", "error.code",
"Yeast was null, please enter yeast used");
}
if(wineServ.getRecipe() == null || wineServ.getRecipe().equals("")){
errors.rejectValue("recipe", "error.code",
"Recipe was null, please enter recipe used");
}
if(wineServ.getBottleDate() == null){
}else{
DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
try{
Date bottle = sdf.parse(wineServ.getBottleDate());
}catch(ParseException e){
errors.rejectValue("bottleDate", "error.code",
"BottleDate was in a bad format, please enter 'MM/dd/yyyy' eg. 09/24/1985");
}
}
if(wineServ.getStartDate() == null){
}else{
DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
try{
Date start = sdf.parse(wineServ.getStartDate());
}catch(ParseException e){
errors.rejectValue("startDate", "error.code",
"StartDate was in a bad format, please enter 'MM/dd/yyyy' eg. 09/24/1985");
}
}
}
}
}
************************************************** ******
Does anyone know why the validator would be running before the form is even submitted?
Any Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
