Hello Eric, Another way of doing this would be using aliases. In other words the validation.xml file follows the action name not the class.
If you send save action "foo-save" and method "save" <action name="foo-*" class="FooAction" method="{1}"> <result name="success">pages/foo.jsp</result> You create one declarative validation file per call So you add a validation file per possible action .... foo-save.xml foo-delete.xml etc.... why not check : http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/validation.html#Validation-HowValidato rsofanActionareFound http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/validation.html#Validation-DefiningVal idationRules -----Original Message----- From: Eric Lentz [mailto:eric.le...@sherwin.com] Sent: lundi 18 juillet 2011 14:16 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Conditional fire on validation() > I'm not sure it's exactly what you're looking for, but IIRC there should be > a convention for the validate method, such that you can call, for example, a > method validateSave, expecting that it's fired contextually with the save > action > > Maurizio Cucchiara Oh yeah! I remember coming across that now.
