Stop using the "simple" theme. The "simple" theme tags don't display error messages--they're simple. You'll either need to switch themes, show field error messages by hand (if you want the messages near the fields), or modify/extend/create a theme to emit the HTML you want.
At this time I cant afford to change the theme of the site. Because that breaks the html on a lot of pages and would require a lot of effort to correct those pages. >show field error messages by hand (if you want the messages near the fields), how can i do this? do you mean, by using field validators like on this link? http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/using-field-validators.htmls Appreciate your help On 4/19/09, Dave Newton <newton.d...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Bhaarat Sharma wrote: >> However, If i have the following line in my struts.properties then the >> validation stops happening and I do not see any errors. >> struts.ui.theme=simple > > Technically, the validation does not stop happening. > >> Has someone seen something like this before? > > Yes, anybody using the "simple" theme. > >> what is the best way to resolve this?? > > Stop using the "simple" theme. > > The "simple" theme tags don't display error messages--they're simple. > You'll either need to switch themes, show field error messages by hand > (if you want the messages near the fields), or modify/extend/create a > theme to emit the HTML you want. > > 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
