looks OK to me. Do the variables _firstName and _lastName get populated by
setFirstName() and setLastName()?
Other than that I'm afraid I've no idea - I'm still writing my first struts
app!

Hi Rob
Here is my validate method (from the ActionForm bean):
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request) {
log.debug("Validating form");
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if ((_firstName == null) || (_firstName.length() < 1)) {
errors.add("firstName", new
ActionError("error.firstname.required"));
}
if ((_lastName == null) || (_lastName.length() < 1)) {
errors.add("lastName", new
ActionError("error.lastname.required"));
}
return errors;
}
The problem occurs regardless of whether or not I restart the web server.
Here is my entire JSP:
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<script src="date.js"></script>
<script src="strings.js"></script>
<script src="validation.js"></script>
<html:html locale="true">
<head>
<title>Add Sales Person</title>
<html:base/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/gs1.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#003399" text="#FFFFFF">
<html:form action="/sourcefiles/dealinfo/addSalesPerson" focus="firstName">
<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="right" class="text8lilac">
First Name
</td>
<td align="left">
<html:text styleClass="form2" property="firstName" size="16"
maxlength="16" onBlur="javascript:validateName(this);"/>
<html:errors property="firstName"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" class="text8lilac">
Last Name
</td>
<td align="left">
<html:text styleClass="form2" property="lastName" size="16"
maxlength="16" onBlur="javascript:validateName(this);"/>
<html:errors property="lastName"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">
<html:submit styleClass="form1" property="submit" value="Submit"/>
</td>
<td align="left">
<html:reset styleClass="form1"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>
Any help gratefully received!
