Its "validwhen" type of validation I suggest you should first go thru this link:
http://struts.apache.org/1.3.10/faqs/validator.html#Designing_Complex_Validations_with_validwhen


And Welcome to JavaRanch
And no need to make it bold and green, its already a lot greeny out side my window, thanks to monsoon.

Hey,

I tried this code but its not working... could you please check if this is the right way to code.....or there is something else to be done in this case....!!!

<field property="startDate" depends="required,date,validwhen">
<var>
<var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name>
<var-value>MM/dd/yyyy</var-value>
</var>
<arg key="error.blank.startdate"/>
<var>
<var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>((endDate > startDate) or (*this* == null))</var-value>
</var>
</field>

<field property="endDate" depends="required,date,validwhen">
<var>
<var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name>
<var-value>MM/dd/yyyy</var-value>
</var>
<arg key="error.blank.enddate"/>
<var>
<var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>((endDate > startDate) or (*this* == null))</var-value>
</var>
</field>

Please use CodeTags

And I may quick in first reply, but I understood this wouldn't solve your problem, because I suspect validwhen doesn't support "date" fields only string and primitive data type, still I correct an error for you



Try this code. Also if you want this validwhen approach, then you have break up the date field in three text boxes, like
[day] [month] [year] and then need to check the larger values in end date.

If it still fails then you have to write one plugbale validator for your own requirements, example:

Welcome
 
But how did the elephant get like that? What did you do? I think all we can do now is read this tiny ad:
