Hi everybody, I have two problems with my Struts application. I have a checkbox that disables an input:text when checked (I use a simple javascript to do that). My problems are:

1) I want my DynaValidator to validate the input:text only if it is not empty and the checkbox is not checked, but I can't find the right expression for the "validwhen" property. Actually it is:

<field property="text_name" depends="validwhen">
<arg0 key="myform.mytext_name" />
<var>
<var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>((checkbox_name == null) and (*this* != null))</var-value>
</var>
</field>


but i don't know how to validate the "" string.

2) when validation fails, the validator calls back the page. The checkbox will still be checked, but the input:text will not be disabled.

Could you help me? Thanks in advance. David

null will also check for empty string ("")

See the bullet item for null.
"* The value null which will match against either null or an empty string "
