I18 and Validator

[fmourioux]

Hi,

today, i try the spring validator and i have 2 questions :

- is it possible to show errors in a javascript popup ?
- in the errors.rejectValue, can i use an i18n value like this :

("field", "errors.minlength", new Object[]{"i18n field name","2"},"");

instead of :

("field", "errors.minlength", new Object[]{"field name","2"},"");

Thanks,

Fabien.

To show errors in a javascript alert, put the following at the end of your page:

<spring&#58;hasBindErrors name="reoDataModel">
	<script language="javascript">
		errors='You have <c&#58;out value="$&#123;errors.errorCount&#125;" /> errors&#58;\n';
		errors+='<c&#58;forEach var="error" items="$&#123;errors.allErrors&#125;">\n';
		errors+='-<c&#58;out value="$&#123;error.defaultMessage&#125;" /></c&#58;forEach>';
		alert&#40;errors&#41;;
	</script>
</spring&#58;hasBindErrors>

cheers,

Hi uze,

Thanks for your reply, it works fine to show errors in a javascript popup.

Do you know how can i get a complet translated message (cause error.defaultMessage is not i18n) ?

I tried to replace "<c:out value="${error.defaultMessage}" />" with <fmt:message key="${error.code}"/> but it doesn't working with all kind of message ex : typeMismatch.java.util.Date, it only display "???typeMismatch???".

Thanks,

Fabien.

Fabien,

Tu y etait presque :wink: ! In fact, to do things the right way,you must use the <spring:message> tag instead of JSTL's. So try this in your JSP:

<spring&#58;message code="$&#123;error.code&#125;" />

...and add errors like this:

errors.rejectValue("title", "someRessourceBundleErrorCode","Title can not be empty");

That should make it!

I was wondering if something like this was possible:

messages.properties:

error.required={0} is required
label.loginName=Login Name

controller/validator:

errors.rejectValue("loginName","required", new Object[]{"label.loginName"}, "Some Default");

jsp:

???

If I want it to say "Login Name is required" when there is an error, how would I do that on the JSP? The <spring:message> tag has no where to pass in arguments. Do I have to resolve the message before putting it into the errors object using

getMessageSourceAccessor().getMessage("error.required", new Object[]{getMessageSourceAccessor().getMessage("label.loginName")});

Thanks for any help!
