Hi,
For the Dispatch Action ur struts-config.xml entry will be something like this,
<form-bean name="userListForm" dynamic="true" type="form.ListAllUserForm"/>
<action path="/listallusers"
type="test.ListAllUserDispatchAction"
name="userListForm"
scope="request"
validate="true"
parameter="mtc"
input="/pages/userList.jsp"
>
<forward
name="updatesuccess"
path="/listallusers.do?mtc=list"/>
<forward
name="success"
path="/pages/displayallusers.jsp"/>
<forward
name="failure"
path="/pages/userList.jsp"/>
</action>
In this ListAllUserForm will extend ActionForm class and in that class u have to put a validate method as given below.
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {
/**
* create a new Action Errors object to hold any error we discover upon validation of the forms fields.
*/
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if (userName == null || userName.trim().length() < 1) {
errors.add("username", new ActionError("errors.required", "LoginName"));
}
if (password == null || password.length() < 1) {
errors.add("username", new ActionError("errors.required", "Password"));
}
return errors;
}
I hope this will help you.
Ambily
