Thanks Lukasz!
I tried request.getAttribute("actionerror") and
request.getAttribute("fielderror") in my jsp but it did not work.
Am I doing it the wrong way ?

Regards In Struts2 error messages are stored in the ValueStack in an object implementing ValidationAware. If your action extends ActionSupport, then means they're available as a property of your action. You can read them from any object in the ValueStack using OGNL. Have a look at ValidationAware. eg. to iterate through action errors: They're not available in the request object. They are available in the session object only if something puts them there for you (which is not the default case). The actionError tag applies a template.

Re: Struts2 Annotation based Validation
Thanks Jeromy and Lukasz! I could manage to get the field specific error messages using : firstName I have a new problem, when validating the page I get error messages as desired. Eg: Mandatory field validation gives out message saying "Field is mandatory". But when I enter the value in the textbox and click submit again, the validation error for next is displayed correctly but entered value disappears in the textbox which is abnormal . Why is this happening ? Please help me understand.

Yes, you can, just add key = some.error.message to your annotation, like below
@RequiredStringValidator(key = "some.key")
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}

Re: Struts2 Annotation based Validation
Thanks again.
I tried the following:
In my action:
@RequiredStringValidator(key = "error.message", message = "")
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
I created the properties file just under my action with the name
"MyActionName.properties" with the following contents:
error.message = ${getText(firstName)} is required.
fieldFormat = ${getText(fieldName)} is not formatted properly.
But I do not the error message as: "error.message" instead of "firstName is
required"
Where am I erring ?
Thanks,
Tauri

Hi,
You mess too many thing, please try like this:

Re: Struts2 Annotation based Validation
Lukasz,
I tried as you advised. I get the default error message 'Please enter a
value for first name ' which is in the "message" .
Im expecting the error messaage from the properties file.
I think Im placing my properties file in the wrong location. And therefore
my validation returns me the default error message.
Im not sure where to place my properties file.
Thanks,
Tauri.

Depends. it can be in the same ackage as the action class and named
${actionClassName}.properties, for example. The localization docs [1] gives a
set of rules for locating resource files.

The scant documentation is throwing me a bit; I'm trying to do everything annotation-based, and for Validation, it seems to be simply not working at all.

I think annotations give you more flexibility than XML . ex : if an Action has multiple methods and only certain fields are tied to each method, we can bunch together validations for each method using annotations, but this is not possible using XML On 8/15/07, Laurie Harper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > David Copeland wrote: > > I'm a Struts newb and am trying to get up to speed on Struts 2. > > > > The scant documentation is throwing me a bit; I'm trying to do > > everything annotation-based, and for Validation, it seems to be simply > > not working at all. > > > > Per the docs, I have tagged my action class with @Validator and tagged > > my setXXX method with @RequiredFieldValidator. > > > > My form's JSP contains XXX. > > > > When I submit the form with no value for XXX, my execute method > > executes as it would before I added the validation stuff. > > > > I would really like to avoid XML files, but it seems that if I'm using > > annotations, everything needs to be done that way. > > I'm not sure what that last paragraph means; you can certainly use XML > validation for one action and annotations in another.

actionPackages
com.naildrivin5.applications.noshame.client
struts2

My JSP:

@Validation()
public class RegisterNewAction

private String itsName;
@RequiredFieldValidator(type = ValidatorType.FIELD, message =
"Name is required")
public void setName(String name) { itsName = name; }
public String getName() { return itsName; }
// omitted other accecssors
}
The docs for doing validation via XML indicate setting up some sort of
interceptor (but there is no real instruction for that, either), so is
there some annotation way I have to do that?

Re: Struts2 Annotation Based Validation
try changing @RequiredFieldValidator to @RequiredStringValidator
the RequiredFieldValidator only looks for "not null" and even if the
field is not entered, but is present on the form, it'll be populated
with "" (empty) and not a java null.

Re: Struts2 Annotation Based Validation
Dave, How do we use the action-alias XML approach if we've the same alias but different methods on the same action ? ex : say myAction has methodA(), methodB() etc. which are invoked using different submit buttons in the jsp In this case, we could have myAction-abc-validation.xml , but how will it differentiate b/n methodA and methodB? i tried myAction-methodA-validation.xml ; but it didn't seem to work.

Re: Struts2 Annotation Based Validation
OK, that worked, in that the validators ran and error messages were
written to the log, however my execute method still executed and
nothing happened on the UI with the error message tags.
I guess the larger question here is, if I'm trying to learn Struts, is
the best strategy to dig into Struts 1, which is presumably better
documented, and wait for Struts 2 to gain more of a foothold?

Google can tell you. struts.xml is the usual name for the Struts 2 configuration file. build.xml is for Apache Ant. web.xml is for configuring your web application. d.
