Hi Manisah,

As I understand this problem is not exactly related to struts but with 
the controlling the flow.
With my knowledge of struts we can't do validation in main page and show 
the report in the
popup screen.

Don't worry I have a alternative solution for this.
Please refer the attached picture in word document which describes the flow.
The explanation is below.
1. Keep the criteria page as it is and let it submit to the Action-1 and 
don't open any popup window.
2. After the validation in Action 1, if the validation fails it will 
goto criteria page with validator message. If everything goes fine then 
forward it to a Dummy JSP.
3. The Dummy JSP will not contain anything but a javascript method to 
load the Action-2 by opening a popup window.
4. Action 2 will load the report page and show on the screen.

Note: Inorder to pass the critirea data between action 1 and 2 you have 
to store the criteria form in the session at execute method of Action 1 
and retrieve at execute method of Action 2.
You can remove this session object when you show the report.

The logic in action 1 will do just validation, store the form in session 
and forward to dummy jsp.
The logic in action 2 will generate the report based on the form by 
retrieving from session.
The dummy jsp may contain just follwoing code.



var winHand = 'someName';
var someWindow = window.open("Action-2",winHand,"menubar=no, 
toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=385,height=175,left=300,top=300"); 

document.formName.target= winHand;
document.formName.submit(); 
}


In case if you want to show the criteria page in the main window when 
the report is shown in the popup,
then you can combine criteria and dummyJsp and add some logic tag to 
open the popup window. The logic tag should use the
values which you have to insert in the request object at action 1.

Hope the things are clear.

Please write me if you need any additional info. If any other user knows 
better way please write.

Thanks & regards
Keshav K Shetty
