Hi,
In my application I have used the validate() method but to my surprise i found
that validate method was not being called at all.
What ever the code i have placed in the validate method was not being executed.
I doubt there was some problem with the interceptors which i have included in
the xml file.
Here is my code of validate method:
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport#validate()
*/
@Override
public void validate() {
List<Object> loginErrors= new ArrayList<Object>();
if ((getUserId() == null) && (getPassword() == null)){
loginErrors.add(getText(GuiConstants.LOGIN_REQUIRED));
}
List<Object> userIdErrors=ValidatorUtils.validateString("User ID",
getUserId(), 1, 15, true);
if(userIdErrors!=null){
loginErrors.addAll(userIdErrors);
}
List<Object> passwordErrors=ValidatorUtils.validateString("Password",
getPassword(), 6, 10, true);
if(passwordErrors!=null){
loginErrors.addAll(passwordErrors);
}
setActionErrors(loginErrors);
}//end validate
Below is the xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
