The validate method comes from com.opensymphony.xwork2.Validateable and is implemented by com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport. The API description from each is : void validate() Performs validation. void validate() A default implementation that validates nothing. Subclasses should override this method to provide validations. I was wondering if this works with Struts 2? I can't find anything outside of XML and Annotated validation when I search. Will it work with built in Ajax validation? If yes, do I implement the validate method using the ValidationAware API? >> Will this method work with Ajax validation? > > I still don't know--if you're already doing Ajax validation, and already > have a validate() method, wouldn't you already have found out? I have a validateData method. I didnt use validate because I wasn't aware on how the valdate method is used with Struts. >> Will this require less work on my part if I do this? > > Less work than what? Less work than my solution. JSON Plugin + Dojo. It wasn't alot of work to do this I just want to make sure I am not rewriting something that Struts 2 already provides. >> By creating the mechanism for populating the <s:fieldError/> did > >> I rewrite somethign that Struts can do for me? > > AFAIK the Ajax validation as shipped only deals with field-specific errors, > not the entire collection of errors--but I've never tried that, so I'm not > really sure. Somebody with more experience doing that may know. I am using the field specific errors, I am just handling them differently. If the shipped version works with the validation javascript provided in the struts.jar then it should work with my code. I kept the same js functions. > Dave > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
