I'm using the dynamaic validator action form to validate my input fields. The client-side validation works great. The server-side validation does not seem to work. I would disable the javascript on the browser to
test the server-side validation. The message bean on the
jsp will never display any messages. I'm using
Struts 1.1-b3. Any help with the problem would be greatly appreciated. Snipplets of my code below:
Struts-config .

<!-- Article Form DynaBean -->
<form-bean
name="logonForm"
type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaValidatorActionForm">

<form-property

</form-bean>

input="/logon.jsp">
