Lesson 5: Edit a form bean

Edit the form bean source file and the Java™ resource file so that they work correctly in your Struts application.

1. In the Project Explorer, double-click the dateData form bean in the /computeDay node to open the form bean in the Java editor.
2. In the editor, find the following line of code near the bottom of the file:

   ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();

3. Immediately below this line, insert the following code:

   if (year < 1582)
   {
     errors.add("year",new org.apache.struts.action.ActionError("pre_gregorian"));
   }

4. Save and close the DateData.java file.
5. In the Project Explorer, navigate to the DayOfWeekJava\Resources: src\com.ibm.dayofweek.resources folder.
6. Double-click the ApplicationResources.properties file.
7. In ApplicationResources.properties, remove the # character from the lines that begin with errors.header and errors.footer.
8. Add the following code to the end of the file:

   pre-gregorian=<li>Date is before 1582, the year the Gregorian calendar began</li>

   
9. Save and close the file.
