Validate method not completing

[MaheshS Kumbhar]

I have following code, in which second if is not working in validate method.

package Action;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;

public class ValidationAction extends ActionSupport {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	private int number;
	private String name;
		
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}


	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}


	public int getNumber() {
		return number;
	}

	public void setNumber(int number) {
		this.number = number;
	}

	public void validate()
	{
		if(number<0){
		addFieldError("number", "Enter number greater that 0");}
		if(name.length()<0){
		addFieldError("name", "Enter valid name");}
	}

}

In above code, even if I fail to enter name, second 'if' is not failing, its invoking execute method. Although 'if' clause for 'number' is working fine, means if I enter number less than 0, its addFieldError method is getting called.
What could be the problem with above code snippet?

You've checked if String's length is less than 0, you'll have to check if its == 0...

hi ..

Here you are getting a length 0.

It must be ==0
0r <=0


Thanks.
