- how to provide an understandable error message
to the enduser?
Hi all,
If the end-user input wrong date-type (eg., date format is incorrect, or for
'number of people' he types 'Q') the 'input' is fired and it shows the error
message.
I do that with the 'return input' and the jsp page (this is ajax-id) looks
like this:
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
udpate Fail<BR>
<s:fielderror />
the problem is that the user see something like this:
Update fail:
Invalid field value for field "Car.returnDate".
obviously returnDate is a field name in Car (that's great for the
developers); but my question is this: How can I show a nice understandable
error message such as: 'error with car return date'
thanks for any pointers
* once again, this is only when the data-type is incorrect.

Doesn't your existing validation handle the results of a failed conversion? i.e., the property would be null (or whatever)?

removed - so the conversionError is not working. ok, how can I provide my own
errors now?
- is it possible using notation for that?
thanks Dave

Hi Dave,
I'm not sure I fully understand your reply;
I found the interceptor validatoin
<interceptor-ref name="validation" />
assuming I remove it, as you suggested, what should come instead and how can
I configure the error messages.
thank you

Type conversion errors are added separately from validation errors.
Among the options is to remove the conversion error interceptor from your interceptor stack and use only the validation errors.
