Struts Validator Framework

Hi all,

Thanks for giving support to resolve the issues.

I have written a Test Application to test Struts validation framework.
I have created a jsp and form,validation.xml .
But I got this error while i execute that application.i have surfed in the net but i couldn't find any relevant messages(Some post says that its a jar problem).

Test.jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
    <%@taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<html:javascript formName="TestForm"/>
<html:form action="Test" onsubmit="return validateTestForm(this);">
<html:text property="name"/>
<html:submit value="Test"/>
</html:form>
</body>
</html>

Validation.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules
Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_0.dtd" >

<form-validation>

</field>

</form>
	</formset>
</form-validation>

It seems the jar file is either missing or corrupted or not in the classpath.

Try using latest jar file.

What version of Struts? What Struts jars are you deploying?

Hi ,

I have tried with struts1.3.10 jar and struts 1.2.6 jar.

Its in the classpath only if not we couldnt get other classes in struts.jar .

still its giving the same error.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using any IDE?

if not try adding the jar file under /WEB-INF/lib/
