Hi All,

I have three questions.

1). What are the ways we can actually perform validation in struts? I think it's Using validation framework(validation.xml) and the other is in the validate method of the form bean. Am I correct?

2). Can we do validation as mentioned above in both struts 1.1 and struts 2.0?

3). What is Dynavalidation then?

Thanks.

Sounds like interview questions.

Validation in S2 is different than in S1.

The docs for DynaValidatorForm (and DynaValidatorActionForm) explain what they are and how they're different.

I've been readin online about using validation framework in Struts 2.0 and these are the changes I basically found from what we do normally in Struts 1.1. Please correct me if I am wrong.

1). Validation.xml file should be named as yourActionClass-Validation.xml
2). Validate=true is written in Jsp form tag
3). Error messages are written in the validation.xml file too within the <message tag> instead of using an Resources file.

Thanks.

That's one way of doing validation in S2, there are others.

The form tag's "validate" attribute is related to client-side validation.

S2 validation messages may be resources, or specified explicitly in the validation XML. You can also validate with annotations.

I'd recommend actually writing some S2 code rather than just "knowing" it by reading the documentation or asking questions--the only way to actually learn something is by doing.

Okie David. Thanks.
