i am trying to implement validation of certain action classes in my app.there are no errors or exceptions but there is no screen popping up .i am trying to validate for the condition that if the fields are empty.
but on clicking the submit i am not getting the pop up of ie , instead i am getting error message getting displayed on the screen with the same font.
i am using websphere.
i think there is some javascripting issue.
websphere is skipping validation-rules.xml

one of forms of the validation.xml is
<form name="AddressForm">
<field property="name"
depends="required">
<arg key = "AddressForm.name"/>
</field>
<field property="address"
depends="required">
<arg key = "AddressForm.name"/>
</field>
</form>

and the jsp is

<BODY>

<html:form action="/submitaddress"
method="post"
onsubmit="return validateAddressForm(this);">
<div align="left">

<p>
<html:errors/>
</p>

<table>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">
Please enter the following details
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">
name
</td>
<td align="left">
<html:text property="name" size="30" maxlength="30"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<html:submit/>


<html:javascript formName="AddressForm" />


</html:form>

</BODY>
</html:html>

Do you see anything in logs/server console log?

Can you please add the configuration null="true" as indicated below to make sure that the application is picking up the resources file.

Load the application again and check if you are seeing any weird messages in your browser.

I did add the configuration null="true" but the problem is not
that application is not picking up the resources file.It is picking up and even displaying the empty values correctly but it is not displaying it in a new pop up window .It is simply displaying it as text above the entry boxes in the same jsp.
I think it is a javascript error .. just dont know how to correct it??

I have never used client-side validation, but what you have in place looks exactly like I would expect. It sounds like the server side validation is working for you. You don't happen to have JavaScript disabled in your browser do you?

A tip that I will pass along is to test in FireFox with the FireBug plug-in installed. This tool is really helpful for debugging JavaScript issues.
