thanks,
I tried overriding the validate method and it seems to work fine.
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request)
{
ActionErrors errors = super.validate(mapping, request);// if fail unique validation
ActionMessage message = new ActionMessage("errors.unique", messageParams);
errors.add("value.emailAddress", message);
return errors;

I think this kind of validation has to be done in the business logic, behind
struts.
Neither in the action form, nor in the action.
The business logic should throw appropriate exception, which then can be handled by struts part of the application.

Betreff: unique field validation
Hi,
Is there a standard way to handle validations that can only occur server-side? e.g. unique fields.
I'm guessing you don't have to include the unique validation in any of your validation configuration.
Is it simply a case of overriding the validate method in my action form?
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
{
ActionErrors errors = super.validate();
// do my custom validation
return errors; }
cheers Nathan
