The validator XML file, validator.xml, provides the validation for the form fields of the
RegistrationForm.
Example Language: XML (Bad)
<form-validation>
<formset>
<form name="RegistrationForm">
<field property="name" depends="required">
<arg position="0" key="prompt.name"/>
</field>
<field property="address" depends="required">
<arg position="0" key="prompt.address"/>
</field>
<field property="city" depends="required">
<arg position="0" key="prompt.city"/>
</field>
<field property="state" depends="required,mask">
<arg position="0" key="prompt.state"/>
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>[a-zA-Z]{2}</var-value>
</var>
</field>
<field property="zipcode" depends="required,mask">
<arg position="0" key="prompt.zipcode"/>
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>\d{5}</var-value>
</var>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
</form-validation>
However, in the previous example the validator XML file, validator.xml, does not provide validators
for all of the form fields in the RegistrationForm. Validator forms are only provided for the first five
of the seven form fields. The validator XML file should contain validator forms for all of the form
fields for a Struts ActionForm bean. The following validator.xml file for the RegistrationForm class
contains validator forms for all of the form fields.
Example Language: XML (Good)
<form-validation>
<formset>
<form name="RegistrationForm">
<field property="name" depends="required">
<arg position="0" key="prompt.name"/>
</field>
<field property="address" depends="required">
<arg position="0" key="prompt.address"/>
</field>
<field property="city" depends="required">
<arg position="0" key="prompt.city"/>
</field>
<field property="state" depends="required,mask">
<arg position="0" key="prompt.state"/>
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>[a-zA-Z]{2}</var-value>
</var>
</field>
<field property="zipcode" depends="required,mask">
<arg position="0" key="prompt.zipcode"/>
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>\d{5}</var-value>
