Problems with struts validator

[Janice Guevara]

Hi,

I'm doing maintenance for an application.I'm trying to implement the struts validator but it doesn't work. The system has been developed to validate the forms in the actions. The problem is that when I run it with my new chages the system still calls the previous code implemented in the actions.What is happening is that the errors are captured as exceptions in a hierarchy and I don't know what to do to validate the forms with the struts validator,it is simply ignored by the system.
Do you have any suggestion?

My guess is that your forms do not extend ValidatorForm. If your forms just extend ActionForm then the validation framework methods will not be called.

It helps if you can share what change you have made. To call the validate() method you have to set the validate attribute to true in struts-config.xml for the particular action.
