1)we are writing the custom Adapator Java Class, Name is:EmailAddressValidator & package name is : package formValidation;

2)we made a jar file ,Deployed in the application Server (Path is:C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\webtop\WEB-INF\classes)

Hello,

First I suggest you read the Forms Builder User Guide, the Forms Development Guide and the DFC Development Guide.

Second, it helps a lot if you also attach screenshots of how your configuration was made.

Third, include complete error messages in your post.

Fourth, try to format your forum post for readability. I believe more people will reply if the post looks good and consist of full sentences.

After that, here are a few pointers to your actual problem.

A jar file deployed to WEB-INF\classes will not get picked up, you must deploy it to WEB-INF\lib.

You must use the fully qualified class name if you choose to deploy your adaptor on the application server. In your case, given the code that you have posted, it would be formValidation.EmailAddressValidator.

Follow the usual convention of naming your package as you would when you write any other Java code. I.e. if you work for Acme Inc, you might name it "com.acme.xcp.forms.validators" or something similar.-

According to your validator a string like "@." is valid when in fact it is not a valid email address. You could instead use a regular expression on your form to do this type of validation, it does not requre a custom validator, refer to the Forms Builder User Guide for details.

Hope it helps

Thanks

Thank you very much Tord

plz observe this below paragraph, it's took from the form builder development guid

we follow this way

Packaging and deploying an adaptor as a Java class

If an adaptor is implemented as a Java class, simply deploy it to the application server as
you would any other Java class. For example, to deploy an adaptor to work with Webtop,
add the deployment JAR to the classpath, or put the class files into the WEB‑INF/classes
directory. You may have to restart the application server.

since i am facing the same problem

i am updating my dicussion if you don't mine spend some time on the attachment

and plz tell me the steps i will follow according

Hi,

The paragraph you quote:

If an adaptor is implemented as a Java class, simply deploy it to the application server as
 you would any other Java class. For example, to deploy an adaptor to work with Webtop,
 add the deployment JAR to the classpath, or put the class files into the WEB‑INF/classes
 directory. You may have to restart the application server.

Is not in conflict with what I wrote above. More specifically:

A JAR needs to be deployed to the WEB-INF/lib for its classes to be on the classpath.

A class should be deployed to WEB-INF/classes (in the necessary folder structure).

Thanks
