Struts Validation with restful URL
Hi all, I've just started using Struts 2.21 and I've wired up an action with RESTfulish way of calling different methods: /WEB-INF/jsp/internal/createPortalUserHome.jsp /WEB-INF/jsp/internal/createUser.jsp /WEB-INF/jsp/internal/createCustomer.jsp so I can process CreatePortalUser/newUserPage or CreatePortalUser/newCustomerPage within the same action. I'm struggling to do separate validation for each method using this approach though. I think I need a file called CreatePortalUser-"methodname"-validation.xml for each method, where "methodname" equals "CreatePortalUser/newUserPage" or " CreatePortalUser/newCustomerPage". But obviously, I can't include a / (slash) in the xml's file name. Is there a work around for this? I took a look at using the Validation annotation on my action class, but it is deprecated?

Re: how does the namespace work in struts
Hi, I've tried to answer your questions below based on my interpretation of the documentation.

The default action has to be relative to something afterall right? The difference between the default and / namespace is that the / namespace isn't checked in the fall back. > > ALso problem 2: > > *Namespace are not hierarchical like a file system path.

Just one namespace for /barspace/myspace. It's not like a directory structure on a file system. So /barspace/myspace/bar.action will look up an action called bar in the namespace /barspace/myspace/.

Re: Struts Validation with restful URL
Had a look in the soruce for 2.21 AnnotationActionValidatorManager line 226
replaces any / in the action alias with -. So in the example below I would
have to give the file the succinct name
CreatePortalUserAction-CreatePortalUser-persistCustomer-validation.xml :-)

Logging Exceptions to files
Hi,
I'm having trouble getting exception logging written to files in Struts
2.2.1. I have enabled the Exception interceptor to log exceptions by adding
the following to the interceptor stack:
true
ERROR
And have a log4j.properties file configured like this:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, R, stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p - %C{1}.%M(%L) | %m%n
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.base}/logs/tomcat.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p - %C{1}.%M(%L) | %m%n
But the exception logs are only being printed to the console and not
{catalina.base}/logs/tomcat.log. If I log an error in my java code, it is
indeed logged to the console and file.
Thanks,
