My jsp fields username and password are null at startup (jsp page is loaded). Why? That make the "Invalid Username/Password. Please try again." message appear when the page is loaded. How to fix that?
Login.jsp <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%> <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%> <html> <head> <title>Struts 2 - Login Application | ViralPatel.net</title> </head> <body> <h2>Struts 2 - Login Application</h2> <s:actionerror /> <s:form action="login.action" method="post"> <s:textfield name="username" key="label.username" size="20" /> <s:password name="password" key="label.password" size="20" /> <s:submit method="execute" key="label.login" align="center" /> </s:form> </body> </html> LoginAction.java import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport; public class LoginAction extends ActionSupport { private String username; private String password; public String authenticate() { return execute(); } public String execute() { if ((username != null) && (password != null) && this.username.equals("admin") && this.password.equals("admin123")) { return "success"; } else { addActionError(getText("error.login")); return "error"; } } public String getUsername() { return username; } public void setUsername(String username) { this.username = username; } public String getPassword() { return password; } public void setPassword(String password) { this.password = password; } }
