DynaValidatorForm isn't working

Hi,

When I enter an invalid login the page doesn't display error messages.
These are my pages.

LOGIN.JSP

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"%>

pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"
%>
<META name="GENERATOR" content="IBM Software Development Platform">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;">
<title>Untitled</title>


<style>
TD{

.news{

.bot{

font-size:7pt;
font-family:Verdana;
font-weight:bold;

}
.copy{
font-size:7pt;
color:black;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>

<html:errors/>

<html:form action="/submitLogin" >

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="159">


<tr>
<td valign="top" class="news"><b>UserName: </b></td>
<td> <html:text property="userName" size="11" />


</td>
</tr>

<tr>


<td valign="top" class="news"><b>PassWord: </b></td>
<td> <html:text property="passWord" size="11" />
</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td valign="top"class="news"><INPUT type="submit" value="Logon"></td>

</tr>

</table>
</html:form>

</BODY>
</html:html>

public class LoginAction extends Action {

DynaValidatorForm dynaform = (DynaValidatorForm) form;

request.setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), dynaform);

System.out.println("Forwarding - SUCCESS page");

return mapping.findForward("success");
}


}

Validation.xml

Code:

<formset>
<form name="LoginForm">
<field property="userName" depends="required">
<arg0 key="prompt.username" />
</field>
<field property="passWord" depends="required, minlength,

maxlength">
<arg0 key="prompt.password" />
<arg1 key="${var:minlength}" name="minlength"

resource="false" />
<arg2 key="${var:maxlength}" name="maxlength"

resource="false" />


<var>
<var-name>minlength</var-name>
<var-value>6</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>maxlength</var-name>
<var-value>12</var-value>
</var>
</field>
</form>
</formset>

What's the problem?

set validate="true" instead of validate="false"

Jack · #3 (**permalink**) 07-04-2007, 04:02 PM

try once :remove doctype in validation.xml

Try this----

first of all make validate=true
write onsumit=" return validateLoginForm(this);" in your form tag
write <html:javascript formName="LoginForm" /> in your jsp before </html:form> tag

Having include above things, I think your form should work..
