John,
Yes. I prefer to do one validation in ActionClass and if the validation fails, 'am
constructing ActionErros. Then, 'am saving it and using the input forward. I even
tried using the "/" as I do for failure forward. But it doesnt seem to work.
Thats the reason, why I have to make a failure forward and have an extra line in
struts-config.xml to direct the page back to the data entry page. Though it works, I
wonder is this the right way to do that? Or, why is input forward doesnt work?
Iam happy that atelast I have a work around.
But, in one of the screens I have the same problem where I let request processor to
take care of the flow by defining my validations in ActionForm's validate method. It
didnt seem to work.
This is the action mapping for the other screen where requestprocessor fails to make
an input forward when my ActionForm's validate method returns an ActionError.
<action path="/changePrm"
type="com.g1.interactive.webapp.ChangePrmAction"
name="ChangePrmForm"
scope="session"
input="changePrmDocument.jsp"> // i tried with "/" too
</action>
Iam sure(by seeing the logs) ChangePrmForm is returning the ActionErrors object. But,
the control(which ReqProc. should do) is NOT going back my input page. Instead, it
takes me to a blank page.
I have html:errors in my input page and also have the right entry in my application
resources file.
Any advise.
Thanks,
-Pani.
