Validator not configured properly?

[Mohd Amin Mohd Din <am...@nc.com.my>]

Hi,
 
What else do I need to check? The form is working perfectly at the
moment but it is not being validated
In struts-config.xml
<snip>
    <form-bean name="Financial.Sponsor.ReceiveSponsorshipForm"
               type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
</snip>
<snip>
    <action path="/financial/sponsor/receiveSponsorshipSetup"
 
type="com.enc.edu.icms.fin.sponsor.view.ReceiveSponsorshipSetupAction"
            name="Financial.Sponsor.ReceiveSponsorshipForm"
 
input="/WEB-INF/jsp/icms/financial/sponsor/receiveSponsorship.jsp"
            parameter="action"
            validate="true">
</snip>
<snip>
  <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn" >
    <set-property property="pathnames"
value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,
                                             /WEB-INF/validation.xml" />
  </plug-in>
</snip>
 
In validation.xml
<snip>
      <form name="Financial.Sponsor.ReceiveSponsorshipForm" >
      <field property="semesterId" depends="required">
        <msg name="required" key="icms.error.field.null"/>
        <arg0 key="icms.financial.semester"/>
      </field>
</snip>
 
validator-rules.xml is present and contains the normal stuff

RE: Validator not configured properly?

Just an update, the error messages was not defined in the application
resources file.

Anyway, having another issue, since the action is a
LookupDispatchAction, it has a few methods, execute, view and update.
Whenever a user comes in, automatically it will go to execute which in
turn will call the view which will then get the default record. Upon
coming in the page, if the record in the database is not complete, it
will show errors, however this is ok since the record should be
complete. But then, say if I'm updating a record on that page and I want
to view another record without saving the record which is just edited,
the data for another record will not show since the form is being
validated which when the users fills up the form to its requirement and
then moves to view another record will appear that the previous record
has been saved which is not the case.

I guess the best way to do it would be using plain Action classes, but
it would be nice if this could be done using a LookupDispatchAction
class.

Thanks
