You *need* a means of telling your application whether the validation was successful or a failure. All you're currently doing is reiterating to your server of a successful or failed validation...which it already knows by virtue of your validation method. As Dave and I have both suggested, a JSON response is probably the best and simplest method to tell your client what's going on.
I didn't read through this, but looks promising for your use case: http://www.selfcontained.us/2008/08/29/teaching-an-old-framework-new-tri cks/ ...oooor: http://www.google.com/search?q=struts1+json&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=o rg.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Beez r 5347 -----Original Message----- From: Anjib Mulepati [mailto:anji...@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 3:34 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts 1 and AJAX I am trying with simple things but result are not as I expected. After call to Struts action I get either SUCCESS or FAILURE view. And these same page are displayed in the row itself. I was planning to display email if it is valid(SUCCESS) or error message on page (in div area fro error) if the email is invalid. As shown before both view are mapped to different page. And in AJAX call upon success it is calling function to add row. I think these are two conflicting or equivalent steps I am taking. So I am missing some point. Can anyone tell me how can I solve this issue?
