validations in a tabbedpanel

[newtostruts allu]

Hi,
Am trying to implement "edit profile" screen.I have a tabbed panel.In one of the divs i have a jsp form which takes these "edit profile" details.i have some default values populated from DB, after that user can change the values.i have validation xml for this action which is not getting called.that is am not able to do basic validations which am able to in other jsp pages.this is what i have in my struts.xml
<action name="doLogin" class="com.xyz.admin.Login">
<interceptor-ref name="params" />
<interceptor-ref name="validation" />
<interceptor-ref name="resourceInterceptor" />
<result name="input">/pages/login.jsp</result>
<result name="error">/pages/login.jsp</result>
<result name="superuserPage" type="redirect">
superuser.action
</result>
</result>
<result type="chain" name="adminPage">
<param name="actionName">doEditProfile</param>
</result>
<result>/pages/login.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="doEditProfile" method="showData"
class="com.xyz.admin.EditProfile">
<interceptor-ref name="params" />
<interceptor-ref name="resourceInterceptor" />
<!-- <interceptor-ref name="validation" /> -->
<result name="input">/pages/login.jsp</result>
<result name="error">/pages/login.jsp</result>
<result>/pages/employeehomepage.jsp</result>
</action>

<action name="editProfile_save"
class="com.xyz.admin.EditProfile">
<interceptor-ref name="validation" />
<interceptor-ref name="params" />
<interceptor-ref name="resourceInterceptor" />
<result name="error">/pages/login.jsp</result>
<result>/pages/editProfileSuccess.jsp</result>
</action>

I have 2 methods in my action class.One for showing default data in the screen,other one is for saving the modified details to DB.

Can anyone help how to get the validations work from validation-xml

Hi,

Wel come to JavaRanch.............

for validation please make sure your validation xml must start with your Action name.

like in your case if you want to validate your edit profile data user your xml name like :

doEditProfile-validation.xml

Then in this your validation name must match with your jsp fields name.

Further more information refer this link :- http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/validation.html

hi,
I have the validation file name in the same format.
I still have the problem.
when i clicke on the that particular tab in the scree, it displays a form with default values from database.when i modify some or all values and click on save it should actually validate.But it is not.
Thanks,
Unaren

Hi it's my mistake make your xml name

EditProfile-validation.xml


Please check with remove all your interceptor from your struts.xml file.

Yes i have the validaiton xml with the same name.
i need the interceptors for database connectivity.Is there any other way that i can get things working.

Hi,

First remove your interceptor for testing.

Because if order of your interceptor is not correct order then your flow and validation not working properly that's why i told you that see after removing your interceptor.

Or better change of your interceptor order.

Choice is yours at last.

The validation process also uses the "workflow" interceptor. You've removed a number of interceptors that S2 uses to do important things--it's best not to remove interceptors unless you know what they're doing and are sure you don't need them.
