Usage Notes
The Required converter requires a user to populate a form field before the form can be processed. This converter only affects the corresponding property’s setX operation. You can use it in the following form tags:
dsp:inputdsp:selectdsp:postfielddsp:textarea
If the value in a required field is an empty string or contains white space, a DropletFormException for this element is thrown.
For example, the following input tag creates a form exception if the user submits the form with a null or empty value in this field:
<dsp:input type="text" bean="Person.userName" required="true"/>
Note: Other tag converters such as date and number can specify required as an optional attribute. For example, this tag specifies a date format, and makes the field required:
<dsp:input bean="NewUser.lastActivityDate" date="MMM d, yyyy" required="true"/>
