[vasu devan]

Dear Friends,

I am new to Struts, and using Struts 1.1
Here i encounter probelom while using Validate method in Form,following are the Details

1.ValidationAction -> Action class
2.ValidationForm ->Form class

Following are the Syntex that is used in ValidationAction class

public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,HttpServletRequest request)
{
ActionErrors errors= new ActionErrors();

if(isMissing(getName()))
errors.add("name",new ActionMessage("name.required"));

if(isMissing(getPlace()))
errors.add("place",new ActionMessage("place.required"));

return(errors);

}

in struts-config.xml ths configuration lookes like this

<form-bean name="ValidationForm"
type="manualvalidation.ValidationForm" />

.
.
<actionpath="/Validation"
type="manualvalidation.ValidationAction"
name="ValidationForm"
scope="request"
validate="true"
input="/validation/Validation.jsp">
<forward name="success" path="/validation/success.jsp" />

</action>

<message-resources parameter="MessageResources" />

When i Accessed the page and given submit,
it return the following error in browser

Since you're using Struts 1.1, you need to populate your ActionErrors object with objects of type ActionError, not ActionMessage. The way you've done it is correct for Struts 1.2, but not for 1.1.
