Regarding Struts validator Framework
Hello everybody,
I'm new to Java. I'm working on Struts now. I got this application from one struts PDF. I've one jsp for customer details as follows:
CustomerDetails.jsp:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean"%>
<html:html>
<head>
<html:base/>
</head>
<body>
<html:form action="submitCustomerForm" onsubmit="return validateCustomerForm(this);">
<bean:message key="custForm.firstName"/>
<html:text property="firstName" size="16" maxlength="16"/>
<br>
<bean:message key="custForm.lastName"/>
<html:text property="lastName" size="16" maxlength="16"/>
<br>
<html:submit value="Submit"/>
</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>

public class CustomerForm extends ValidatorForm
{
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public CustomerForm(){
firstName="";
lastName="";
}
public String getFirstName(){
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String fn){
this.firstName=fn;
}
public String getLastName(){
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String ln){
this.lastName=ln;
}
}

{
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,ActionForm form,HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception{
if(isCancelled(request)){
System.out.println("Cancel Operation Performed");
return mapping.findForward("mainpage");
}
CustomerForm custForm=(CustomerForm) form;
String firstName=custForm.getFirstName();
String lastName=custForm.getLastName();
System.out.println("Customer First name is "+firstName);
System.out.println("Custoemr Last name is "+lastName);
ActionForward forward=mapping.findForward("success");
return forward;

Upto now it's working fine. But it's not displaying the error message that I've mentioned in the properties file. This file is as follows and is in WEB-INF/classes.

I've my success.jsp and failure.jsp.
When I don't enter data into firstname and lastname, the form is displayed, but the error message is not displying. validator.xml is working fine because if I don't give any one or both of first name and last name it's displaying the empty form and if I give both, success.jsp is displaying. In some struts pdfs I've seen that if validation errors occur, the JSP u menthioned in input attribute is displayed with the errors taken from properties file. Is is true or not? If so, why did the author used the Failure.jsp again? Please clear me why the message is not coming from properties file. Is the error in properties file or validator-rules.xml or some other.
Thanks and regards,
Saritha

Try adding an <html:errors /> tag to your CustomerDetails JSP, I don't
see it there.

In the jsp code u given onsubmit="return validateCustomerForm(this); but
in validator-user.xml the form name is custForm, so replace that with
onsubmit="return validateCustForm(this);
Thanks,
Srinivas.
