<s:form>
<s:submit key="buy.key" method="buy"/>
<s:submit key="sell.key" method="sell"/> </s:form>
<action name="auction" class="my.AuctionAction">
<result>/auction.jsp</result>
</action>
public class AuctionAction {
public String buy() {
return SUCCESS;
}
public String sell() {
return SUCCESS;
}
}
Consider this code. It would be preferable to be able to write a
separate validation xml for each of the above methods. E.g.
AuctionAction-sell-validation.xml
AuctionAction-buy-validation.xml
Presently Struts 2 seems to ignore the method name if it is
non-annotated action. Are we missing something here? It seems the only
way to get this to work would be to change the jsp and struts xml as
follows:
<s:form>
<s:submit key="buy.key" action="auctionbuy" method="buy"/>
<s:submit key="sell.key" action="auctionsell" method="sell"/>
</s:form>
<action name="auction*" class="my.AuctionAction">
<result>/auction.jsp</result>
</action>
With validation named as follows:
AuctionAction-auctionsell-validation.xml
AuctionAction-auctionbuy-validation.xml
This has a downside that we have to hardcode the action alias in the JSP
which limits the reuse of a JSP that maybe used by more than one action.

Subject: RE: S2 : Validation per Action method - ideas?
I'm not sure I follow how validation is more flexible when using
annotations vs. xml files.
Aliases are how you tell xwork that this method is the one to be
executed, so there's a 1-to-1 mapping between aliases and methods.
File based validation is, in a sense, more flexible, because you can
define multiple aliases against a single method and specify different
rules for each of those.
If you could provide more information regarding your situation, that
would be of great insight.
Thanks,
