Server-side Struts Validation

[Kiran Kumar]

Hello Everyone,

I have my struts application running well with client-side javascript validation and Dyna form beans. But now, I am trying to replace this with server-side validation. So far I have this logic for client-side validation.

FORM DEFs

<form-beanname="MyForm" type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">

<form-property type="java.lang.String" name="field1" />
<form-property type="java.lang.String" name="field2" />  ... 

In JSP

  <html:javascript formName="MyForm" />
<html:form action="blah/blah.." onsubmit="return validateWODollarForm(this);">
... .

Now, to replace the javascript client side validation with server-side validation, I did this

FORM DEFs

  <form-bean name="MyForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property type="java.lang.String" name="field1" />
<form-property type="java.lang.String" name="field2" />  ... 

In JSP

  
<html:form action="blah/blah.." >

When I did this, the server-side validation didn't work. The screen functioned as if there was no validation at all.

Can anyone help me using DynaValidatorForm for server-side validation?

Thanks for your consideration,
Kiran
