Re: To use form validation in conjunction with validation.xml

Thanks Rick! super.validate(mapping, request); works just fine for me. I am able to now use both the validation.xml as well as the ones coded in my actionform's validate method. :-) ~raghu~ On 1/21/06, Rick Reumann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How are you certain the validation.xml isn't being c

How are you certain the validation.xml isn't being called? Log the ActionErrors stuff in the try block after the call to validator.validate() Actually I think the easiest is to just validate what you need manually and then I think you should just be able to do: super.validate(mapping, request);

Thanks Rick! You spotted it correct...It now executes the validate function of the form :-) Now I move onto second step. I cut paste the code that you sent in the action form's validate function. Now the problem is that validation.xml is not having any effect. Just to paste back the exact code I

What does your action mapping look like? Do you have validate=true set for the form? Mind you, I'm not a fan of using automatic validation:) I prefer to call validate manually from my Action class. I explain my reasons here http://www.learntechnology.net/validate-manually.do On 1/20/06, Raghu K

Thanks Rick for the response. My first issue Rick is that my validate function in the form is not getting called at all. I have simply put a "System.out.println" statement there to verify that it is getting called. What you have given is definitely useful for me in the second step :-) But I need t
