Vallidation Using Annotation + Struts 2

[Jigar Naik]

Hi i am trying to validate field but fields are not getting validated.

bellow is my POJO class.

    
package com.interactcrm.module;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Date;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.annotations.RequiredFieldValidator;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.annotations.RequiredStringValidator;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.annotations.Validations;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.annotations.ValidatorType;

@Entity
@Table(name="module", schema="licensemanager")
@Validations
public class Module implements Serializable{
	
	private Long 	id;
	private String 	code;
	private String 	name;
	private Date 	expiryDate;
	
	@Id
	@GeneratedValue
	@Column (name="id")
	public Long getId() {
		return id;
	}
	
	public void setId(Long id) {
		this.id = id;
	}
	
	@Column (name="code")
	@RequiredFieldValidator(message = "Module Code can not be blank")
	public String getCode() {
		return code;
	}
	
	public void setCode(String code) {
		this.code = code;
	}
	
	@Column (name="name")
	@RequiredStringValidator(message = "Module Code can not be blank",type=ValidatorType.FIELD, shortCircuit = true, trim = true)
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
	
	@Column (name="expiry_date")
	@RequiredStringValidator(message = "Expory Date can not be blank",type=ValidatorType.FIELD, shortCircuit = true, trim = true)
	public Date getExpiryDate() {
		return expiryDate;
	}
	public void setExpiryDate(Date expiryDate) {
		this.expiryDate = expiryDate;
	}
	
}

I have also enabled the client side validation as bellow

<s:form name="addModuleForm" id="addModuleForm" action="addModule" validate="true">

if you are using hibernate, i think you can use hibernate validator..

Thank's

What happens? Are there any JavaScript errors? I don't recall if JavaScript validation requires the use of the <s:head> tag but it might--can't hurt to add it if it isn't there.

Wait, that's not the action? Did you set the visitor validation (or whatever it's called) on the action property that uses this class? Otherwise there's nothing to tie the validation to the action.
