Hi jim
here is the snippet from struts-config.xml
<action path="/logon"
type="prototype.beans.LogonAction"
name="logonForm"
validate="true"
scope="request"
input="index">
<forward name="success" path="/main.jsp"/>
</action>
and here is the snippet from LogonForm
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping actionMapping,
HttpServletRequest request)
{
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if(getName().trim().equals("") || getName()==null)
errors.add("name",new ActionError("errors.name.required"));
if(getPassword().trim().equals("") || getPassword()==null)
errors.add("password",new ActionError("errors.passwd.required"));
return errors;
}
and here is relevant portion of jsp
<html:html locale="true">
<head>
<title><bean:message key="logon.title"/></title>
<html:base/>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<html:errors/>
<div align="center">
<h3><bean:message key="logon.heading"/></h3>
</div>
<html:form action="/logon">
<table border="0" width="100%">
.....table information
</table>
</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>
regards
saurabh
