Using the Struts Validator

Brett McLaughlin (brett@newInstance.com), Author/editor, O'Reilly Media
Author1 photo
Brett McLaughlin has worked in computers since the Logo days. (Remember the little triangle?) In recent years, he's become one of the best-known authors and programmers in the Java technology and XML communities. He's worked for Nextel Communications, implementing complex enterprise systems; at Lutris Technologies, actually writing application servers; and, most recently, at O'Reilly Media, Inc., where he continues to write and edit books that matter. His most recent book, Java 1.5 Tiger: A Developer's Notebook, was the first book available on the newest version of Java technology, and his classic Java and XML remains one of the definitive works on using XML technologies in the Java language.

Summary:  Follow along as Web development expert Brett McLaughlin guides you through the process of installing and configuring the Struts Validator component. The Validator, originally developed separately from and on top of Struts, is now an integral component of any professional Struts application programming. With the Validator, you can validate input in your Struts ActionForms. In this tutorial, you will learn to perform this validation declaratively, without touching your existing Java™ code.

  • You can download Apache projects, and find out more about the Apache Software Foundation, at the Apache Web site.

  • The Apache Web server lives online at its own Web site. Although I didn't talk about it in this tutorial, I always serve HTML pages with Apache, and pass through Java requests to Tomcat.

  • Struts resides online as a top-level Apache project, and is a well-documented open source offering.

  • IBM offers Intelligent Forms Processing for OCR technologies.

Help: Remove from My dW interests

What's this?

Removing this interest does not alter your profile, but rather removes this piece of content from a list of all content for which you've indicated interest. In a future enhancement to My developerWorks, you'll be able to see a record of that content.
