I18N Variables

**Validation Configured with Localized Variables.**

The purpose of this page is to demonstrate Validator configured to use variables from message resources. So, for example, the date validator can get the format appropriate for the user's Locale - enabling localized validation using just one form in the validation config file.

Back struts-config-i18nVariables.xml validation-i18nVariables.xml

Current Locale: Japanese

Employee Information

姓

Date of Birth

Weekly Hours

The above fields use the following validation rules in a localized way...

姓 - minlength and maxlength..
郵便番号 - minlength, maxlength and validwhen..
電話番号 - mask.
Date of Birth - date(not strict) .
Age - intRange..
Date of Employment - date(strict).
Employee Number - longRange..
Annual Salary - doubleRange..
Weekly Hours - floatRange..

Notes Below...

The validation config is in validation.xml in the /webapps/struts-examples/WEB-INF/validator directory.
Two message resources bundles have been used - one for normal text and the other for validation variables:

General text (bundle key i18nExample) is in I18nExample.properties
Validation variables (bundle key i18nVariables) are in I18nExampleVariables.properties

N.B.Its important to configure the resource bundle containing validation variables to return null if not found. See the struts-config.xml for an example of this.
