ActionErrors inside ValidatorForm

[Karthik Rajendiran]

Hello Friends,
We have a input jsp with 2 date fields.Date validation was done using validator framework
We are overriding the validate method in the form bean extending the validatorform.

1.Inside the validate method, we are trying to do overlap check between dates and report error
2. we want this check to happen only when the initial required and mask test finished
How to do that?How to retrieve value in actionerrors for the sucess of prior validation

Inside your validate method, code the following:

ActionErrors errors = super.validate(mapping, request);
if (errors.isEmpty()) {
  // go ahead and do your validation
  // if there is an error, add a message to the errors object.
}
return errors;
