display validation message as an alert in jsp which uses struts 2 validation.xml

[vydehi vajanapally]

I created a validation xml and i mentioned those error messages in package.resources.

Now I want to display those error messages(when i click on submit button) as java script alerts on the page.

Please help me how to merge javascript function with the struts validation messages.

and how/when to call this alert message with code.

Please be sure to ask Struts questions in the Struts forum. I have moved this post there for you.

use <html:javascript> tag and add an attribute(i forgot the name) which contains validateUrFormname(this) to the form element... this will generate the script from the commons validator based on the rule you have specified in the validation.xml...

Or use the Struts 2 client side validation (Prakash's answer is for Struts 1). Note that not all validations are supported on the client side out-of-the-box.
