Hi Volker, You can do it with struts xml validator:
Include a xml into your action package like this: ActionName - alias from action - validation.xml Example: ActionName-save-validation.xml * Note that "save" is the name of action in your struts.xml Nothing better than a real example: struts.xml ------------------------------------------------------- <action name="salvar" method="salvar" class="br.com.sgvdba.actions.usu.UsuAction"> <result name="success" type="redirectAction"> <param name="idUsu">${currentUsu.cd}</param> <param name="actionName">abrirDados</param> <param name="namespace">/usuario</param> </result> <result type="tiles" name="input">default.usu</result> </action> UsuAction (Action class) ----------------------------------------- /** * Persiste determinado usuário no banco de dados * * Para inserir um usuário deve ser confirmada a não-existência * de outro registro com o mesmo nome de usuário. * @return */ public String salvar(){ //Verifica se a tela possui erros if (hasFieldErrors() || hasErrors()){ return Action.INPUT; } try { if (!getUsuFacade().isSenhaValid(currentUsu.getSenha(), senhaConf)){ addActionError("As senhas informadas devem ser iguais"); return Action.INPUT; } else if (!getUsuFacade().isChvValid(currentUsu.getChv())){ addActionError("Já existe um usuário com este nome, favor informar um nome diferente"); return Action.INPUT; } else { NvlAcso nvlAcso = getNvlAcsoFacade().recuperaPorId(idNvlAcso); getUsuFacade().incluir(currentUsu, nvlAcso); setIdUsu(currentUsu.getCd()); } } catch (Exception e) { addActionError(SgvdbaConstants.ERRO_DEFAULT + e.getMessage()); return Action.INPUT; } return Action.SUCCESS; } UsuAction-salvar-validation.xml (VALIDATION) ------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE validators PUBLIC "-//OpenSymphony Group//XWork Validator 1.0//EN" "http://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/xwork-validator-1.0.dtd"> <validators> <field name="currentUsu.chv"> <field-validator type="requiredstring"> <message>Favor inserir um nome de usuário</message> </field-validator> </field> <field name="currentUsu.email"> <field-validator type="requiredstring"> <message>Favor inserir um e-mail</message> </field-validator> <field-validator type="email"> <message>Favor informar um e-mail válido</message> </field-validator> </field> <field name="currentUsu.senha"> <field-validator type="requiredstring"> <message>Favor inserir uma senha</message> </field-validator> <field-validator type="stringlength"> <param name="minLength">4</param> <param name="maxLength">12</param> <param name="trim">true</param> <message>A senha deve conter no mínimo ${minLength} e no máximo ${maxLength}</message> </field-validator> </field> </validators> Hope this can help you.
