Problem with Validator Framework

I am new to Struts.I tried implementing Validator Framework concept, but its not working..I have taken the code from RoseIndia.net..
Here is the code snippet:
-----------------------
index.jsp
-------------
<html:link page="/AddressJavascriptValidation.jsp">Checking the Validator Framework</html:link><br>
AddressJavascriptValidation.jsp
--------------------------------
<body bgcolor="white">

<html:form action="/AddressJavascriptValidation" method="post" onsubmit="return validateAddressForm(this);">

<div align="left">
<p>
<bean:message key="AddressValidator.title"/>
--some code for displaying controls----------
</table>
</div>

<html:javascript formName="AddressForm" dynamicJavascript="true" staticJavascript="true" />

</html:form>
I have added the validator.xml and validation-rules.xml inside WEB/INF.
When I am checking the source code, the script is not getting displayed in the jsp page....I don't know what I have missed out....
:roll:

Hi Sameer,

Please post your validation.xml.

In your form-validation, it should have something like this:

<form name="AddressForm">
<field property="username" depends="required">
<arg key="prompt.key"/>
</field>
</form>

*Make sure your "prompt.key" is in your message resource bundle.

Make sure also that that in your struts-config.xml, validate attribute in your action is set to true. Something like this.

<action
name="AddressForm"
path="/AddressJavascriptValidation"
scope="request"
type="com.rms.struts.action.AdressAction"
input="AddressJavascriptValidation.jsp"
parameter="parameter"
validate="true">
<forward name="initialize" path="AddressJavascriptValidation.jsp" />
<forward name="failure" path="AddressJavascriptValidation.jsp"/>

</action>

Hope this helps.

You missed out the form definition in validation.xml for "AddressForm" , and important thing is that the first letter for form name should be small , like "addressForm" ..

add validation for addressForm in validation.xml like ..

Hope this help !!

Here is the Validation.xml code:
--------------------------------
<form name="addressForm">
<field property="name"
depends="required">
<arg key="AddressForm.name"/>
</field>
<field property="address"
depends="required">
<arg key="AddressForm.address"/>
</field>
<field property="emailAddress"
depends="required">
<arg key="AddressForm.emailAddress"/>
</field>
</form>

Hi Sameer,

The formname should be the same as the one declared in the struts-config.xml
form bean property name attribute. The first letter of the name should be in small letter.

try changing "AddressForm" to "addressForm" in this line code.

Not:
<html:javascript formName="AddressForm" dynamicJavascript="true" staticJavascript="true" />

Correct:
<html:javascript formName="addressForm" dynamicJavascript="true" staticJavascript="true" />

Hi All,
I have tried different approaches as all of you have suggested.
My Form bean name is: AddressForm.java

struts-config.xml:
<action
path="/AddressJavascriptValidation"
type="struts.example.AddressValidatorAction"
name="AddressForm"
scope="request"
validate="true"
input="/AddressJavascriptValidation.jsp">
<forward name="success" path="/SuccessValidator.jsp"/>
</action>
In validation.xml:
form name is "addressForm"
<form name="addressForm">
<field property="name"
depends="required">
<arg key="AddressForm.name"/>
</field>
<field property="address"
depends="required">
<arg key="AddressForm.address"/>
</field>
<field property="emailAddress"
depends="required">
<arg key="AddressForm.emailAddress"/>
</field>
</form>
AddressJavascriptValidation.jsp:
<html:form action="/AddressJavascriptValidation" method="post" onsubmit="return validateAddressForm(this);"> while submitting the form

<html:javascript formName="addressForm" dynamicJavascript="true" staticJavascript="true" /> adding the script at the bottom of the jsp page

This is all about the configuration....I am not getting the desired output....Can anyone suggest some alternative.

put this above body tag , and see ..

I am not getting the desired output..

Pl be specific, and post what exactly you want and what you are getting ?

Hi,

As suggested for placing the code:

above the body tag, I tried this approach also, but it is not working.

Not getting desired results mean,the Validator concept is not working .When I am checking the source code of the jsp in the browser, the added code snippet of validation.xml is not getting displayed.
This is where I am getting confused where I am doing the mistake.
Can anyone send their email id, so that i better send the files to you, that will give a clear picture I think.

Thanks for your suggestions,

Hi Sameer,

In your struts-config.xml,

<form-beans>
<form-bean name="addressForm" type="struts.example.AddressForm">
</formbean>

<action
path="/AddressJavascriptValidation"
type="struts.example.AddressValidatorAction"
name="addressForm"
scope="request"
validate="true"
input="/AddressJavascriptValidation.jsp">
<forward name="success" path="/SuccessValidator.jsp"/>
</action>

In the action class, change the name attribute to "addressForm".
