Rauf-

Are you doing client or server-side validation?  Or both?

W.R.T your multiple errors, there is an attribute you can set in your struts XML file, namely:

|  <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
   <set-property property="pathnames"
                           
value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validations.xml"/>
   <set-property property="stopOnFirstError"
                 value="true"/>
 </plug-in>|

Note that you must be using Struts >= 1.2.0 for this feature, though I believe prior to 1.2.0, the behavior was to always stop on the first error.

I'm a little confused by your explanation but it sounds like you're possibly missing the XML in your JSP for the email field since you say it doesn't show up - the other rationale is that it's a valid email address.

Also, just an FYI, your password field does not have a max/min length validation.

Hi,

I am trying to validate a simple form which has a name, password & email field. I have validated that name field(html:text) should contain only characters, password field(html:text) contains only numbers & email field(html:text) should contain proper email id.

When i enter only numbers in name field, only characters in password field & an invalid email id then only alert msg "please enter only characters" is coming for name field & msg "pls enter only numbers for password field' *BUT* no msg is coming for email field even though i have entered a wrong email id. Also those two msgs are coming simultaneously but i want like this, i mean to say when i click on submit button first only msg for name field should show. Then again if i click submit button then msg for password field should show & so on.

Also suppose if i enter the proper name (only characs) , proper password (only numbers) & if i enter the invalid email id then it will show the
msg" please enter a valid email address".

I am sending the following code for reference :

Validation.xml

<!-- compose form Validation-->
<form name="InfoForm">
   <field  property="fname"

            <var>
                        <var-name>mask</var-name>
                        <var-value>^[0-9]*$</var-value>
                    </var>
     </field>
     <field  property="email" depends="required,email">
         <arg key="ComposeForm.email"  position="0"/>
         <msg name="email" key="ComposeForm.InvalidEmail"
position="0"/>
     </field>
</form>
