Hello,
Currently, I am using struts validator to validate the fields in my ActionForm.
Before I updated to struts 1.2.4, I could add an error this way - errors.add( "username", new ActionError("error.username.required"));
If the validation failed, the error message for username will be displayed right beside the user name text field if I use <P>Username: <html:text property="username"/></P>.
Can someone tell me how to display error message beside an input field using struts validator?
I've never seen any automatic message placement. You can access messages like this:
<html:messages property="username" id="msg"></html:messages>
html:messages is effectively a combination logic/iterator tag. If there are any "username" messages in the ActionMessages object saved as the "errors" messages, the body of html:messages will be evaluated once for each, with a scripting variable of type String defined with the name specified in the "id" attribute. You can use c:out or bean:write to display this value, wrapped with span, div, or other tags which format your messages correctly.
I kind of think someone talked on the list once about making something which rendered an HTML "label" tag and which was also "smart" about the presence of errors. I like the idea of something like that in general, but wonder if you'd be able to specify something suitably general for inclusion in Struts. Seems like it might be better left for local development.
