The Struts 2 framework provides a powerful way to validate a user's form field input by using the regex validator. In the example application, we want to ensure the user enters the phone number in the format 999-999-9999. We can use a regular expression and the regex validator to enforce this rule.
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
<validator type="requiredstring">
<param name="fieldname">personBean.phoneNumber</param>
<message>Phone number is required.</message>
</validator>
<validator type="regex">
<param name="fieldname">personBean.phoneNumber</param>
<param name="regex"><![CDATA[\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}]]></param>
<message>Phone number must be entered as 999-999-9999.</message>
</validator>
