Validate method going in infinite Loop

[Pankaj Borgaonkar <pa...@wipro.com>]

Hi All,
 
I am validating email address entered by user, using in  validate method
of formBean. If the email address is invalid I am adding the errors. 
 
Struts Config entries:
 
<action path="/emailcreation"  
 
type="com.onstar.myonstar.process.web.controller.EmailCreationAction" 
    name="emailCreationForm" 
    validate="true"
    scope="request"
    input="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp">

          <forward name="emailcreation_page"
path="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp"
redirect="false"/>
</action>
 
OR
 
<action path="/emailcreation"  
 
type="com.onstar.myonstar.process.web.controller.EmailCreationAction" 
    name="emailCreationForm" 
    validate="true"
    scope="request"
    input="/emailcreation.mo"> 
          <forward name="emailcreation_page"
path="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp"
redirect="false"/>
</action>
 
Second one is going into the loop and first one is not getting the
values from database as the request is going to JSP not to action  class
i.e the formbean values are not populate.
 
How can I overcome this problem.
 
Thanks in Advance

hi pankaj,

<action path="/emailcreation" 

type="com.onstar.myonstar.process.web.controller.EmailCreationAction" 
name="emailCreationForm" 
validate="true"
scope="request"
input="/emailcreation.mo"> 
<forward name="emailcreation_page"
path="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp"
redirect="false"/>
</action>
 
** this action mapping goes into a infinite loop , becos, if u find an error
ur calling emailcreation.mo(input parameter). that is it is calling itself.
and hence infinte loop. everytime u call emailcreation.mo , validate method
will be called.


<action path="/emailcreation" 

type="com.onstar.myonstar.process.web.controller.EmailCreationAction" 
name="emailCreationForm" 
validate="true"
scope="request"
input="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp">

<forward name="emailcreation_page"
path="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp"
redirect="false"/>
</action>

** this seems to be ok , becos ur forwarding the controll to
/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp(input parameter)
and the jsp page should display ur error. and if u want to get data from
db(for validation) , get it from validate method only. ur control will never
go action class unless all the validations are success..

Hi All,

I am validating email address entered by user, using in validate method
of formBean. If the email address is invalid I am adding the errors. 

Struts Config entries:

<action path="/emailcreation" 

type="com.onstar.myonstar.process.web.controller.EmailCreationAction" 
name="emailCreationForm" 
validate="true"
scope="request"
input="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp">

<forward name="emailcreation_page"
path="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp"
redirect="false"/>
</action>

OR

<action path="/emailcreation" 

type="com.onstar.myonstar.process.web.controller.EmailCreationAction" 
name="emailCreationForm" 
validate="true"
scope="request"
input="/emailcreation.mo"> 
<forward name="emailcreation_page"
path="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp"
redirect="false"/>
</action>

Second one is going into the loop and first one is not getting the
values from database as the request is going to JSP not to action class
i.e the formbean values are not populate.

How can I overcome this problem.

Thanks in Advance
