Hi Koni:
I must have misunderstood what you adviced me to do because I couldn't get
it working on what you suggested. This is what I did:
I added the logic tag in my jsp:
<logic:equal name="SearchFormBean" property="result" scope="request"
value="ok">
<javascript:window.open("", "myWindow", 'toolbar,width=450,height=500')
</logic:equal>
===> the rest of this jsp file is just a table to display my data.
I added a new property "result" into my formBean and also its getter and
setter.
private String result;
Then in my Action class I added the following call to the setter when my
data are retrieved successfully:
if (formBean.isMainReportAction())
{
this.validateAction(formBean, request, errors); // validate search
filters
if(errors.empty())
{
retrieve data for main report and display main report
formBean.setResult("ok"); // IF EVERYTHIANG IS OK, SET result="ok"
so jsp will pop up new wdw
}
else
displayed error message in the original window
}
But when I ran this, no window is pop-up. The data is still displaying in
the original window.
Did I miss something that you tried to tell me? Thx...
Pat

Hi Pat
I solved the validation problem (your question 2) as described in many
examples:
In struts-config.xml, add 'input' to your action mapping.
...
<action path="/app/report/Search"
type="com.test.action.report.ReportAction"
name="SearchFormBean
scope="request"
validate="false"
input="/thePage.jsp"> // <---- !!
...
MyAction.java:
...
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if ( ! formBean.isMainReportAction() )
{
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,
new ActionError("error.my.error.message"));
}
// Report any errors we have discovered back to the original form
if (!errors.isEmpty())
{
saveErrors(request, errors);
// go back to the input page
return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput());
}
...
thePage.jsp:
Example of displaying errors in .jsp
...
<logic:messagesPresent>
<UL>
<html:messages id="errors">
<LI><bean:write name="errors"/></li>
</html:messages>
</ul>
</logic:messagesPresent>
...
You could solve your pop-up problem with <logic:equal> in your .jsp!
<logic:equal name="myForm" property="result" scope="request" value="ok">
<javascript:open.your.pop.up.some.how>
</logic:equal>
Hope it helps.
