I have one more: Validation errors kept returning me to a blank page. Turns out, in my struts-config (borrowed from a Struts book, so I deserved it!) I had, way down at the bottom:
<controller> <!-- The "input" parameter on "action" elements is the name of a local or global "forward" rather than a subapp-relative path --> <set-property property="inputForward" value="true" /> </controller> but my input tag was input="/errorpage.jsp" Had to look through the struts examples until I found one that used inputForward names instead of paths. Then I saw my problem. -Kevin --- "Bailey, Shane C." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The 5 things I can think a newbie would do so > validation doesn't work: > > 1. no tld for struts html at the top of the JSP or > not using html:text > 2. no input=thejsp in the action mapping > 3. validation isn't implemented right (or set to > false or something) > 4.
