Hi,
I'm using Struts 2.0.14 and validation annotations. I have a
UpdateUserAction class which implements ModelDriven and declares the
execute() method with the following :
@Validations( visitorFields = { @VisitorFieldValidator(message="",
fieldName="model")} )
My model is a User class which has a number of @RequiredStringValidators,
etc.
When I test the functionality I login to my app as a user with all it's
fields populated (ie a valid user). I then update a dropdown box in the
Update User jsp to the 'Select' value, to invalidate this property (declared
with a @RequiredStringValidator). Sure enough, when I submit the form, I
get a field error telling me this is a required field. So far so good.
However when I then correct that field and resubmit, I still get the error!
I've added debug code to the prepare() method of the UpdateUserAction and
it shows that the previous field error is still present when I submit the
corrected form. This is strange because my understanding is that field
errors should get cleared between requests, and the validation framework
shouldn't fire until after the prepare() method has fired. So why am I
seeing validation errors in the prepare method? And why aren't they
clearing?
What's even more frustrating is that I've downloaded the source code for the
xworks 2.0.7 package, and attached as source in Eclipse Galileo, but then I
can't set breakpoints in any of the xwork codebase to step through, as each
time I try and open an xwork java file, it takes me to the .class file
instead.
Can anyone shed light on my problems as I can't see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Murray
