hi,
can i use validation fron both ActionForm and struts inbuilt validtaion.
i mean in struts config i have validation=true so i will get some validaion on that. at the same time i also want to use the errors which i get from my validate method of Actionfrom bean.
At a time only one validation works
can i use both validations at same time. as i dont want to use Custom validations.
we are writing ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request) {

so is there a way out to find errors from mapping.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Nishita,

First of all are u clear with validate() method in ActionForm and the validate = true attrib value in struts-config value.

reason being both mean the same.

it works like this if in Action tag u mention validate = 'true' then the corresponding ActionForms validate() method is called where u would implement ur validation logic which returns ActionErrors .

with this i think if u mention validate = 'true' then only ur validate method defined in the ActionForm is invoked other wise it does not invoke it at all.

hello,
i might have not describe myself well. what i did was in struts-config file i wrote validation=true an in validation.xml
i have written
<form name="QuestionBean">

<field property="questionText"
depends="required,maxlength">
<arg0 key="prompt.questionText"/>

<arg1 key="${var:maxlength}" name="maxlength"
resource="false"/>

<var>
<var-name>maxlength</var-name>
<var-value>50</var-value>
</var>
</field>
</form>

so it will do validation even if i dont write write validate methis in actionForm page. so now i want to do validation using both validation.xml and Actionfrom validate method.
am i clear now?

Thanks

Sure you can do this. In your form should extend a class such as ValidatorForm. Override the validation method and either call super.validate some place in your code. Such as this:
