RE: Problems Redirecting To Input Page After Vaildation Fails
Personally, I would try to use the same page for add, update and delete, which would solve this problem. If this is not an option for you, you may have to deal with it in ClientAction. Remove the input attribute from your action mapping, add validate=false, and add a couple of forward elements. action path=/clientaction type=ie.sentenial.application.actions.ClientAction name=clientForm scope=request validate=false attribute=clientForm forward name=AddValidationError path=/pages/addClient.jsp/ forward name=UpdateValidationError path=/pages/updateClient.jsp/ /action Then inside ClientAction, programmatically call the validate() method, since the framework won't be calling it for us (validate=false). If validation fails, return the appropriate ActionForward, based on whether you are adding or updating.

RE: Problems Redirecting To Input Page After Vaildation Fails
Ciaran, When all else fails, cut and paste. :-) Seriously, I don't know of a way to make the input value dynamic. I wish it could be done like tile definitions with one action mapping extending another, but, I know that is not supported. So, the simplest solution is to have two separate action mappings for the one action class that supports both adds and updates like so: action path=/clientaction/add type=ie.sentenial.application.actions.ClientAction name=clientForm scope=request input=/pages/addClient.jsp attribute=clientForm /action action path=/clientaction/update type=ie.sentenial.application.actions.ClientAction name=clientForm scope=request input=/pages/updateClient.jsp attribute=clientForm /action You still get code reuse of your action class, but, you have to duplicate the action mapping specification. If you want to avoid duplicating the action mapping, the other way to go is to have a single JSP that supports both adds and updates with conditional logic in the JSP based on a mode parameter which indicates whether it is being used for an add or an update. - Van Mike Van Riper mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.baychi.org/bof/struts/ P.S. You don't need to specify both name and attribute values in your action mappings unless you want to store the form under a different name at request/session scope than the form configuration name. What you have done doesn't hurt anything, it is just not necessary to specify an attribute value unless the value specified for it is different than the name value. -Original Message- From: Ciaran Hanley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 10:57 AM To: Struts User Mailing List Subject: Problems Redirecting To Input Page After Vaildation Fails Hello can anybody help me with this problem I'm having please?

RE: Problems Redirecting To Input Page After Vaildation Fails
- resending: hope this doesn't end up as a duplicate -
Another option would be to call the validate() method yourself and return the
appropriate forward.
add validate=false to your mapping, plus your forms as forwards so you can
still configure them in your struts-config:
action path=/clientaction
type=ie.sentenial.application.actions.ClientAction
name=clientForm
scope=request
validate=false
attribute=clientForm
forward name=addForm path=/pages/addClient.jsp/
forward name=updateForm path=/pages/updateClient.jsp/
/action
- this way, the RequestProcessor won't call validate().
in your action, before you proceed, you can do something similar to:
public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
ActionErrors errors = form.validate(mapping, request);
if ((errors != null) (!errors.isEmpty())) {
request.setAttribute(Globals.ERROR_KEY, errors);
if (update.equals(request.getParameter(action))) {
return mapping.findForward(updateForm);
} else {
return mapping.findForward(addForm);
}
}
// ...
}

Subject: Problems Redirecting To Input Page After Vaildation Fails
Hello can anybody help me with this problem I'm having please?
I am using the same action to perform two functions
action path=/clientaction
type=ie.sentenial.application.actions.ClientAction
name=clientForm
scope=request
input=/pages/addClient.jsp
attribute=clientForm
/action
This is called as follows from 2 different forms:
html:form action=/clientaction?action=update focus=clientName
onsubmit=return validateClientForm(this)
and
html:form action=/clientaction?action=add focus=clientName
onsubmit=return validateClientForm(this)
The problem is that because I have
input=/pages/addClient.jsp
...that when a validation fails while doing an update it is directed
back to the addClient.jsp rather than the updateClient.jsp
As far as I know the input field will not take dynamic
values. I am not
sure how to resolve this problem. I need to be directed back to the
correct page when validations fail
Thanks
Ciaran
