Struts Validator

[Rajkumar Singh]

Hello everybody,

I am new to Struts and have a question on Validator framework. I have a very unique and a dumb requirement where I want to store a username and password in an XML file. Whenever a user logs in into the system, the username and the password entered by him/her will be checked against the username and password stored in the XML file.

For this I want to use the Struts Validation framework. The question is how can I use it to meet my dumb requirement?

Thanks
Raj

why do you think its a dumb requirement?

The simple suggestion from me

1. Parse the XML,
2. Find out the entered user name and password in each XML tag ..
3. If present , logged in else throw error massage ..

For this I want to use the Struts Validation framework.

How do you want this ??

Because we are storing the authentication details in the XML file instead of database.
