I have a related question, but it's a bit of a side-track as I try to solve my original problem.
What is the naming convention and the difference between the two types of -validation.xml file naming? I think I understand that ActionClass-validation.xml is called for all (non-excluded) methods in the Action. The documentation on the other method is very scarce and difficult to understand. It suggests that the name should be ActionClass-ActionAlias-validation.xml, however it isn't really clear what "ActionAlias" really means. In my case, my action class is called ScheduleDetail. The form that invokes the update is coded as follows : <s:form action="ScheduleDetail_update"> So, my understanding is that if I want validation ONLY for this method, the naming convention should be: ScheduleDetail-ScheduleDetail_update-validation.xml Is this correct? I've tried ScheduleDetail-validation.xml just to use the basic naming definition, but it doesn't seem to get invoked. The messages that I have defined in the file are never presented, I am seeing what I think are generic struts error messages for type conversion errors (I'm trying to force failure by entering a string in an int field). -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Validation-and-conversion-conflict---best-method--tp26341189p26345292.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
