Form action context is default rather than the module's context

Using a module I go through an action to a JSP containg a form (using html:form). The action attribute of this form is the same as an action defined in a module's struts config ie /Login, but when the page is accessed the full form action is the ${default context}/Login rather than ${default con

Date validation, multiple format

Is there a general pattern for localised input, ie being able to enter numbers and dates formatted for Germany but getting them formatted for Java on the server side for constructing BigDecimals etc, aside from using utilities in the java.text package? What about for displaying back the other way?

RE: Form action context is default rather than the module's context

It actually looks as though the correct module is being detected when the request is processed, and forwarding to the correct jsp, but the module context is being lost when the JSP is processed, thus the wrong action in the form. Is there any reason for the context being lost? Daniel -Orig

You can't modify the actual struts instances that were configured in struts-config. However, you can handle the validation in your Action object (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-user&m=109302108205069&w=2) and redirect with parameters by constructing your own ActionForward instance. Th
