I'm trying to set up a very basic(generic) validation with struts 1.1 (and
tiles) and I can not get it to work. I'm not getting any errors or anything.
Validation simply doesn't take affect.
I believe I have everything in place. Here is some snippets from my file.
Please let me know if you know what the issue is.
Based on my configuration, my user id field should be required, however I
can proceed w/o entering any text in there!
from my validation.xml:
<form name="genericForm">
<field property="user.userId" depends="required">
<arg0 key="User ID" resource="false"/>
</field>
</form>
From my ApplicationResources.properties:
errors.required={0} is required.
From my struts-config.xml
<action path="/generic"
type="com.raytheon.its.action.generic.GenericAction"
name="genericForm"
scope="request"
input="/WEB-INF/pages/generic.jsp"
validate="true">
<forward name="success" path="generic" />
</action>
My Form:
public class GenericForm extends ValidateActionForm {
private UserTO user;
//getter and setters for the user go here
}
*NOTE that UserTO has an attribute called userID, hence the nested field
property name in validation.xml
From my generic.jsp
...
<html:errors/>
<!-- declare the nested object -->
<nested:root name="genericForm">
<nested:nest property="user">
...
<tr>
<th align="left">User ID:</th>
<td><nested:text property="userId"/></td>
</tr>
