Hi Team,

I have built simple struts2 based websites but have never come across such a problem. There are basically two actions in my struts.xml.
The "customer-form" action just displays a web-form (customer.jsp) to add customer name,age,email and telephone. There is a submit button as well on this page but clicking

I am using simple tiles and the baselayout.jsp uses css.

Code for customer.jsp

The problem is that on clicking submit button "customer" action does not get called. Clicking on it just calls the same action "customer-form"....I have tried adding action on the submit button itself but the same thing happens.

Here is my struts.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">

<struts> 
    <constant name="struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation" value="false"/> 
    <constant name="struts.devMode" value="false"/> 
    <constant name="struts.custom.i18n.resources" value="ApplicationResources"/> 
  
    <package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="/"> 
        <result-types> 
            <result-type name="tiles"
                class="org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult" /> 
        </result-types> 
        <action name="login" 
            class="net.crux.struts2.LoginAction"> 
            <result name="success" type="tiles">/welcome.tiles</result> 
            <result name="error">Login.jsp</result> 
        </action> 
        <action name="customer" 
            class="net.crux.struts2.CustomerAction"> 
            <result name="success" type="tiles">/customer.success.tiles</result> 
            <result name="input" type="tiles">/customer.tiles</result> 
        </action> 
        <action name="customer-form"> 
            <result name="success" type="tiles">/customer.tiles</result> 
        </action> 
    </package>

</struts>

Sometimes I get the javascript error although I have not defined any javascript in my application.

Rquest you to please suggest what could be the probable reasons for this.

Please suggest.

One more update:

I have been able to resolve the javascript error by disabling the Customer-Validation.xml but still getting the same problem. The form action does not just get called on pressing the submit button. It keeps on referring the same action 'customer-form' instead of the action 'customer'. But using <s:a href="customer">Customer</s:a> the action customer does get called BUT the form's text values come as null. Please help.

The validate attribute should only be "true" if you want to use client side validation, and in order to use client side validation, you must use either the xhtml or ajax themes. see here
It sounds like your validation is kicking you back to the page you declared for input results.

But how did the elephant get like that? What did you do? I think all we can do now is read this tiny ad:
