I have done the following steps: 1.Add validator plugin in struts-config.xml <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn"> <set-property property="pathnames" value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/> </plug-in> 2.I have used index.jsp as my LOGIN page. With the following code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html"%> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean"%> <html:html> <HEAD> <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import org.apache.struts.action.Action; import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm; import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;

DynaValidatorForm dynaform = (DynaValidatorForm) form; String username=(String)dynaform.get("username"); String password=(String)dynaform.get("password"); if(username.equalsIgnoreCase("")||(password.equalsIgnoreCase(""))){ System.out.println("null username"); forward=mapping.getInputForward(); } else{ System.out.println(username+":"+password); forward=mapping.findForward("success"); } return forward; } } 5.My validation.xml looks like <!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation// DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/ commons/dtds/validator_1_0.dtd"> <form-validation> <formset> <form name="LogonForm"> <field property="username" depends="required"> <arg0 key="prompt.username"/> </field> <field property="password" depends="required"> <arg0 key="prompt.password"/> </field> </form> </formset> </form-validation> 6.My validator-rules.xml looks like <!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_0.dtd";> <form-validation> <global> <validator name="required" classname="org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks" method="validateRequired" methodParams="java.lang.Object, org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction, org.apache.commons.validator.Field, org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest" msg="errors.required"> <_javascript> <![CDATA[ function validateRequired(form) { var isValid = true;

} ]]> </_javascript> </validator> </global> </form-validation> My web app is able to handle the login actions but no error is displayed in the index.jsp when i submit the form without username and password. Please help me why I am getting this situation.. Also my ApplicationResources.properties looks like this ..... # Optional header and footer for <errors/> tag. #errors.header=<ul> #errors.footer=</ul> # Error messages for Validator framework validations errors.required={0} is required. errors.minlength={0} cannot be less than {1} characters. errors.maxlength={0} cannot be greater than {2} characters. errors.invalid={0} is invalid. errors.byte={0} must be a byte. errors.short={0} must be a short. errors.integer={0} must be an integer. errors.long={0} must be a long.0. errors.float={0} must be a float. errors.double={0} must be a double. errors.date={0} is not a date. errors.range={0} is not in the range {1} through {2}. errors.creditcard={0} is not a valid credit card number. errors.email={0} is an invalid e-mail address. #ERROR KEYS prompt.username=Username prompt.password=Password NOTE:i hve used <html:errors/> in my index.jsp where i am expecting the error to be displayed.
