JIRA - form validation

Hi,

I created view .vm that contains html input fields (like textarea, or textbox) inside of form. I serve form by class that extends JiraWebActionSupport. And my question is, how could I validate input fields? Is that possible to get (inside of class) view fields?

I would appreciated for any code examples?

Hi,

in action class override doValidation method and fire error into the error collection in service context (or error message).

VM template:

#if($action.getHasErrors())
							#set($err = $action.getErrors())
						#end
    
    					#macro( errortablerow $errors $key)
							#if ($errors &amp;&amp; $errors.get($key))
								&lt;tr&gt;
                					&lt;td class="formErrors"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
            						&lt;td valign="top" class="formErrors"&gt;
										&lt;span class="errMsg"&gt;$errors.get($key)&lt;/span&gt;
									&lt;/td&gt;
            					&lt;/tr&gt;
							#end
						#end
								
						#errortablerow( $err "userName" )																													
						&lt;tr&gt;
							&lt;td #if($err &amp;&amp; $err.get("userName")) class="fieldLabelArea formErrors" #else class="fieldLabelArea" #end&gt;
                            	$i18n.getText("up.add.element.user")
                            &lt;/td&gt;
                            &lt;td #if($err &amp;&amp; $err.get("userName")) class="fieldValueArea formErrors" #else class="fieldValueArea" #end&gt;
                            	&lt;select id="userName" name="userName" style="width: 210px" &gt;
	    	 						#foreach ($user in ${action.getAvailableUsers()})
	    	 							&lt;option value="${user.getName()}"
	    	 							#if($el.getUser().getName() == $user.getName()) selected #end
	    	 							&gt;${user.getDisplayName()}&lt;/option&gt;
	    							#end
	    						&lt;/select&gt;
                            &lt;/td&gt;  
						&lt;/tr&gt;

Example action class:

public class TestAction extends JiraWebActionSupport {
	
	private static final String ERROR_INVALID_USER = "up.web.action.error.invalid.user";
	
	private String userName;
	
	public TestAction() {
	}
	
	@Override
	protected void doValidation() {
		User u = UserUtils.getUser(userName);
		if (u == null) {
			getJiraServiceContext().getErrorCollection().addError(Constants.ERROR_USERNAME, 
				getJiraServiceContext().getI18nBean().getText(ERROR_INVALID_USER));
		}
		
		// Validation continue
	}
	
	@Override
	protected String doExecute() throws Exception {
		if (hasAnyErrors()) return ERROR;
		
		// Some logic code
		
		return INPUT; 
	}

	public Collection&lt;User&gt; getAvailableUsers() {
		return UserUtils.getAllUsers();
	}
	
	public String getUserName() {
		return userName;
	}

	public void setUserName(String userName) {
		this.userName = userName;
	}

}

Error key match html element name, so

public static final String ERROR_USERNAME = "userName";
