I have tabs created using jquery in a struts2 form. At a given point of time, I will enter values for fields in any one of the tab and submit it. Rest of the tabs' fields will be blank. I have validation rule set for all the fields in all the tabs using action-validation.xml. So the validation is fired for all fields - as all the tabs& fields are in one <form>.
Stating this, Can I control the validation to only one tab and ignore other tab fields in action-validation.xml? We have something called depends="validwhen" in
struts 1.x. Do we have something like that in struts2? the short-circuit is useful only to ignore rest of the validation set for a single field. correct me if i am wrong. Bottom line is, even though my form submits all the fields, I want my action-validation.xml to validate only the fields in active tab. Any thoughts?
Please let me know.
