Struts and Validation Framework

[chris hart]

Hello.
I am using the validator framework with my struts application. I have the client side javascript validation working but am having an issue with the server side validation
It boils down to this. When I declare my form to be
public class LoginForm extends ValidationActionForm instead of
public class LoginForm extends ActionForm I receive a class cast exception in my Action Class. This is due to the Action class' method execute wants an ActionForm not a ValidationActionForm. How do I get around this? Thanks.

Hi chris
I am also working in the struts. I am new to strutrs framework. I want to do client side validation. I have declared the fields and validatins requried for the fields in the validatin.xml. I am extending the
ValidatorActionForm for my formbean.
When I run the form by not entering anything in the form and press submit sutton, it is forwarding to failure page and it is not showing the required message.
What should I do to enable to client side validation. I have not written any javascript method in validator-rules.xml. All I am doing is defininf the errors.required in my application resources file. I am expecting a error message when I keep the text box blank. Can you please tell me what are the steps I need to follow to enable the validation.
Thanks,
archana
