Help in Validwhen

[Kavitha Narayanan]

Hi,
I am doing password validation. If the fields newPassword and confirmNewPassword have equal values, i have to proceed to success page.
Entry in the validation.xml is :
<field property="confirmNewPassword" depends="validwhen">
<msg name="validwhen" key="errors.matchfields"/>
<arg0 key="ResetPasswordForm.ConfirmNewPassword"/>
<arg1 key="ResetPasswordForm.NewPassword"/>
<var><var-name>test</var-name><var-value>(*this* == newPassword)</var-value></var>
</field>
When i give equal values in both fields, success page is displayed. But if i give invalid values, there are no error messages (alert messages) shown. "Page cannot be found" error page is shown.
What i have to do show the error in the alert messages(similar to the messages shown for required, minlength etc)
Thanks in advance.

Did you specify the input attribute in your ActionMapping?

Hi,
No I havent specified input attribute in ActionMapping.. Does the validation validWhen requires the "input" Attribute?

Thanks,
