problem in field validation

[madhuri kunchala]

hi,
in my application..i m using server side validation....the field is not getting validated...can any one help me out..here is the code...

<validators>
    <field name="search">
        <field-validator type="requiredstring" >
            <param name="trim">true</param>
            <message>Search is required</message>
        </field-validator>
    </field>
</validators>

I think this is a validation on the client side.For this to work you need to declare the tag <html:javascript> in your jsp page

For serverside validation we have to define the validate method in my form class.

Please try this, it may work

hi,
here is my jsp code

<s:form action="manage" namespace="/audiocontent" method="POST" theme="simple">
    <table>
                  Filter By
                 <s:select label="Filter By "
                           name="filterby" id="filterby"
                           headerKey="-1"
                           headerValue="ALL"
                           list="#{1:'ContentID',2:'Charge',3:'Approval State',4:'Rating',
                                   5:'Content Owner Name',6:'Expiry Date',7:'Created Date'}"
                           onchange="showhide();" />
                 <tr id="firstdiv" >
             <td>
                 Enter Search Value
             </td>
                 <s:textfield label="Enter Search Value " name="search" id="search"/>
                 <br/>
                 <span class="error_msg">
                     <s:fielderror fieldName="search"/>
                 </span>
             </td>
                 <s:submit name="search" id="search" value="Search" method="Search"/>
             </td>
         </tr>        
     </table>

any help regarding my post...i had declared error method in class..here is the code

public void addError(String filedName, String fieldValue) {

        addFieldError(filedName, getText(fieldValue));
        System.out.println(filedName + " ===> " + fieldValue);
    }

Hi,

I thing that the field is validated but you do not see the validation because you use simple theme.

Change the simple theme to xhtml theme for the beginning regardless of layout.

You should add fielderror to simple theme if the validation will work.

Best regards,

hi,
i had used theme="simple" in all my application..for upload it is working..but not for "manage" page ..changed the code..as follows

<s:form action="manage" namespace="/audiocontent" method="POST" theme="simple">
    <table>
        <s:actionerror/><tr id="firstdiv" >
            <td>
                Enter Search Value
            </td>
            <td>
                <s:textfield label="Enter Search Value " name="search" id="search"/>
                <br/>
                <span class="error_msg">
                    <s:fielderror fieldName="search"/>
                </span>
            </td>

Use

<html:javascript formName="your form name"/> before the beginning of your table tag

<s:form action="manage" namespace="/audiocontent" method="POST" theme="simple">
<html:javascript formName="your form name"/>
<table>

hi ravindar,
i got what you suggested...but i didnt used any javascript in my application..i used interceptors and here is my configuration file...

<struts>
    <!-- Add your configuration elements here -->
    <package  name="audiocontent" namespace="/audiocontent" extends="modulecheck">
        <action name="upload" class="com.nxl.content.audio.UploadAudioContent">
            <interceptor-ref name="uploadContent">
                <param name="fileUpload.allowedTypes">audio/mpeg,audio/mp3,audio/wav,audio/mid</param>
            </interceptor-ref>
            <exception-mapping exception="org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException" result="input"/>
            <result type="tiles">audio.upload </result>
            <result type="tiles" name="input">audio.upload </result>
            <result type="redirect"  name="manage">manage</result>
        </action>

        <action name="manage" class="com.nxl.content.audio.manage.ManageAudio">
            <result type="tiles">audio.view</result>
            <result type="tiles" name="edit">audio.edit</result>
            <result type="tiles" name="input">audio.view</result>
        </action>
    </package>
</struts>

I think when add/change the interceptor stack; the default interceptor stack will get removed.
Try adding

<interceptor-ref name="basicStack"/>

after the <interceptor-ref name="uploadContent"> tag.

hi madhuri.


Try putting required.....in place of requiredstring.

How are you showing your error in span.?

[Rajkumar Kathiresan]

1. Your validation file name must be <actionclass>-<validation>.xml
2. your action should have getters and setters for the field against you are validating.
3. In interceptor basicStack must be above the validation & workflow interceptor in struts.xml.
4. <S:fielderror> is doesnot have a property "fieldName"
use like this

<s:fielderror>
    <s:param value="%{'userName'}" />
    <s:param value="%{'password'}" />
</s:fielderror>
