Problem with validator

[Saji T.Sathian]

I have the following entry in struts-config.xml

<action path="/registration"
type="com.search.bb.account.struts.UserRegistrationAction"
name="userRegistrationForm"
input="site.page.registration"
validate="true">

<forward name="success"
path="site.page.registrationSuccess">
</forward>

</action>

Problem is that if validation fails control is not forwarded to the value
of 'input' attribute of the action element.Insted I get a blank page

If validate attribute is set to 'false' everything works fine.

But that does not help validation.

If you have solved problems of this kind please help

One thing I forgot to mention is that of Form Bean.

<form-bean name="userRegistrationForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<display-name>userRegistrationForm</display-name>
<form-property name="userID" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="password" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="confirmationPassword" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="email" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="bloodGroup" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="name" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="gender" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="dateOfBirth" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="address" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="district" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="state" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="country" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="phone" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>
<form-property name="mobileNO" type="java.lang.String"></form-property>

</form-bean>

Please note type of form bean is

org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm

I'd guess there's an error in the validation config/code or in the JSP. Is there anything in the log?

[Saji T.Sathian]

Thank you very much for reading my post.

The configuration is as follows

<form-validation>
<global>

</global>
<formset>
<form name="userRegistrationForm">
<field property="userID" depends="required,mask">
<msg name="mask" key="userRegistration.userID.maskmsg"></msg>
<arg0 key="userRegistration.userID.displayname"></arg0>
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$</var-value></var></field></form></formset>
</form-validation>

The JSP works fine when 'validate' attribute of action element is set to 'false'

Nothing is available with logs.

I failed to resolve the problem yet.I have found some more problems with client side validation. validateMinlength() is notworking with password
fields. validateDate() is also have problems.You have to edit these two
functions for getting correct output.
