yes, I have a few pages, forms and actions. the strange thing is that some works fine. I in one particula action, I copy the key used in another action which works, but it does not work in this action.
Here is the action defintion: <action path="/admin/SearchTemplate" name="searchTemplateForm" scope="request" validate="true" input=".searchTemplateDef" parameter="method" type="net.canal.admin.action.SearchTemplateAction"> <forward name="success" path=".searchTemplateDef" /> <forward name="notfound" path=".searchTemplateDef" /> <forward name="found" path=".listTemplateDef" /> </action> In SearchTemplateForm.java, I have validate() which is indeed called and action errors is set when name is null, but it just not displayed on the jsp. The flow is, I click a menu item, which pass a parameter 'Prepare' to a LookupDispatchAction. But before that the Validate() is called and suppose to return back with erros and then display the Tiles right ? Here is the validate(): ActionErrors errors = null; String parameter = request.getParameter ("method"); if (parameter == null || ! parameter.equalsIgnoreCase("prepare")) { if ((name == null) || (name.length() < 1)) { errors = new ActionErrors(); errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError("errors.required", "Template name")); } } return errors; -------------------- very strange !!! --- Bryce Fischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I assume that when you say > messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new > ActionMessage("something > here"); > > the "something here" corresponds to a key in your > messages.properties > file (or whichever file has your resource messages)? > > > lixin chu wrote: > > > >> Here is how I prepare action messages in Action: > >> > >> ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages(); > >> messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new > >> ActionMaessage ("something here")); > >> saveMessages(request, messages); > >> > >> anything wrong ? > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
