Struts Validation.xml - requirement issue

I want my validation.xml file to only validate null if certain options are selected from the dropdown. So far i

<field property="empFDServiceStartDate" depends="requiredif, date">
        <arg0 key="Service Start date" resource="false"/>
        <var>
                <var-name>field[0]</var-name>
                <var-value>moverChangeType</var-value>
        </var>
        <var>
                <var-name>fieldTest[0]</var-name>
                <var-value>EQUALS</var-value>
        </var>
        <var>
                <var-name>fieldValue[0]</var-name>
                <var-value>Conversion</var-value>
        </var>
</field>

When Conversion is selected from the moverChangeType dropdown, I was hoping that the empFDServiceStartDate field would be checked for errors before saving it. It doesn't work at the moment and it allows me to store zeros.

Any idea?

I am tied to struts 1.1 and therefore cannot use newer commands.

You can do this multiple tests in one test, for example:



<field property="empFDServiceStartDate" depends="requiredif, date">
    <arg0 key="Service Start date" resource="false"/>
    <var>
      <var-name>test</var-name>
      <var-value>((moverChangeType == "Conversion") or (moverChangeType == "SomethingElse"))</var-value>
    </var>  
</field>

If you want to check a field if moverChangeType is "Conversion", try this ...



<field property="empFDServiceStartDate" depends="requiredif, date">
    <arg0 key="Service Start date" resource="false"/>
    <var>
        <var-name>test</var-name>
        <var-value>(moverChangeType == "Conversion")</var-value>
    </var>
</field>
