problem with validate() method

[taj uddin <ta...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

In my application I have used the validate() method but to my surprise i found that validate method was not being called at all.
What
ever the code i have placed in the validate method was not being
executed. I doubt there was some problem with the interceptors which i
have included in the xml file.

I'm submitting the userId and password from my login page which was mapped to Loagin action class which contains validate method.

Here is my code of validate method in my LoginAction:

/* (non-Javadoc)
     * @see com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport#validate()
     */
    @Override
    public void validate() {

        List<Object> loginErrors= new ArrayList<Object>();
        
        if ((getUserId() == null) && (getPassword() == null)){
            loginErrors.add(getText(GuiConstants.LOGIN_REQUIRED));
        }
        List<Object> userIdErrors=ValidatorUtils.validateString("User ID", getUserId(),  1, 15, true);

        if(userIdErrors!=null){
            loginErrors.addAll(userIdErrors);
        }
        
        List<Object> passwordErrors=ValidatorUtils.validateString("Password", getPassword(), 6, 10, true);

        if(passwordErrors!=null){
            loginErrors.addAll(passwordErrors);
        }

        setActionErrors(loginErrors);

    }//end validate

Below is the xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

            <result name="input">login.jsp</result>
         </action>

</struts>

Pls kindly help me out as to what should be done to make my validate method work

You need to include the workflow interceptor for validate() to be invoked.

Cheers,
