All,
I have problems with xml validation and Struts 2 (2.0.14). The
validation as I see it is not displaying the error messages (I extend
ActionSupport). The defaultstack includes the validation interceptor.
I believe the problem is related to my struts.xml configuration and the
interceptor I use but I can't be sure. The only way I can get the
fielderrors displayed on my jsp is to check the fielderors in the method
generate but I thought (like Struts 1) it should never get to the
generate method. Instead of success redirecting to a jsp if it's a
success I want to go to the previous page which seems to work.
In summary my questions are as follows:
Q1: When do I need to use the execute method?
Q2: I assume I don't need to specify fieldserror in my code
(implementing the ValidationAware should be enough)
Q3: If I need to persist the items for re-display on the input page -
what do I need to do to achieve this?
Q4: Do I need to use the Workflow interceptor?
Any help would be appreciated.
Eileen.
