All,
I posted this a few hours ago on the jakarta-commons list and have not come
up with a solution yet. I decided to commit the sin of x-posting it here
since this may very well be a struts issue.
I hope this is not a newbie question. I have RTFM several times. I suspect
I must be missing something simple. I have installed Tomcat 4.1.29 and
Struts 1.1 with the Validator included. I have configured my installation
as follows
struts-config.xml:
<form-bean name="orgForm"
type="com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.forms.orgForm"/>
.
.
.
<!-- Insert a new Org into the database -->
<action path="/org_insert"
name="orgForm"
type="com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.actions.orgInsertAction"
scope="request"
validate="true"
input="org_edit.jsp" >
<forward name="show_list" path="/org_list.do" />
<forward name="error" path="/GeneralError.do" />
</action>
.
.
.
<message-resources parameter="com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.application"/>
.
.
.
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames" value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,
/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>
</plug-in>
Validation.xml:
<form-validation>
<formset>
<form name="orgForm">
<field property="orgCode"
depends="required">
<arg0 key="orgForm.OrgCode"/>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
</form-validation>
Application:properties:
errors.required={0} is required.
In the org_edit.jsp file contains the following code snippet:
<logic:messagesPresent>
<bean:message key="errors.header"/>
<ul>
<html:messages id="error">
<li><bean:write name="error"/></li>
</html:messages>
</ul><hr>
</logic:messagesPresent>
I have stepped through the execution several times and see the validator
being activated. I even see the failed validation (empty field). However,
after the failed validation, it seems validator is unable to construct a
proper forward to send me back to the JSP page where the error was entered
(or not entered in this case). I am simply forwarded to a nearly blank page
with minimal <html> and <body> tags.
I have tried changing the input parameter to point at a global & local
forward as well as an Action forward. None of them succeed. However, when
pointed at a forward the browser does display a message indicating that the
server was unable to look up a mapping for an action named "/misc". The
characters "misc" do not appear anywhere in my struts-config.xml file. I am
guessing this must be some kind of default behavior.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
