validation in struts

hello dear

do these things carefully

1. enable validator framework in struts config.xml file like this

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">

<set-property property="pathnames" value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>

</plug-in>

</struts-config>

2. in ur jsp where this password field is

inside title write

<html:javascript forName="some form bean name tht u have used instuts config file" >

inside <html:form action .... onsubmit="returnValidateFormBeanName(this);"> same as u use in the above line but do care its first letter should be capital.

NOw u have like in this jsp

<html:password property="password"> this property name will be used in validation.xml file.

in validation.xml write

<formset>

<form name="sameuused in strutsconfig and jsp file">

<field property="password"

depends="required">

<arg key="sameuused in strutsconfig and jsp file.password"/>

</field>

</form>

</formset>

then come to message resouce file property file

write

sameuused in strutsconfig and jsp file.password=Password

it will display the java script msg passwor is required

do these things properly

and it will work

this is clent side validaton

i will come to server side validation later

till that u do this

bye
