Struts Validation

Hello,

On struts validation, is it true that for server-side validation we must extend our actionform with DynaValidatorActionForm or DynaValidatorForm only. Can we also do it with ValidatorForm?

I am new to struts can anyone post a step by step procedure on how to perform validation on server side- if possible with code. Thank you very much in advance.

Luke,
Welcome to JavaRanch!

We're pleased to have you here with us in the JStruts forum, but there are a few rules that need to be followed, and one is that proper names are required. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious. Please add a last name.

Thanks,
Jeanne

Thanks Jeanne for letting me know the rules. But does any body know the answer for the question I posted?

Thanks,

If you're only considering the Validation Framework (the framework where validations are defined in an xml file), you can use ValidatorActionForm and ValidatorForm.

If you're not using the Validator Framework you can still easily code your validations and extend any ActionForm class you want.

Thanks Mark for the reply. But can you please let me know of how to disable the client side validation and enable the server side validation. Can you tell me what changes should I make in the code. This is the code I have:

Thank you very much for your time.

In the JSP -
Take out the html:javascript tag and take out the onsubmit attribute from the html:form tag.
