Full example of requiredstring validator1) Create index.jsp for inputThis jsp page creates a form using struts UI tags. It receives name, password and email id from the user. index.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="/struts-tags" prefix="s" %>
<html>
<head>
<STYLE type="text/css">
.errorMessage{color:red;}
</STYLE>
</head>
<body>
<s:form action="register">

<s:password name="userpass" label="Password"></s:password>

</s:form>
</body>

2) Create the action classThis action class inherits the ActionSupport class and overrides the execute method. RegisterAction.java
package com.javatpoint;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
public class Register extends ActionSupport{
private String username,userpass;
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
public String getUserpass() {
return userpass;
}
public void setUserpass(String userpass) {
this.userpass = userpass;
}
public String execute(){
return "success";
}
}
3) Create the validation fileHere, we are using bundled validators to perform the validation. Register-validation.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE validators PUBLIC "-//OpenSymphony Group//XWork Validator 1.0.2//EN" "http://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/xwork-validator-1.0.2.dtd"> <validators> <field name="username"> <field-validator type="requiredstring"> <message>Name can't be blank</message> </field-validator> </field> </validators> 4) Create struts.xmlThis xml file defines an extra result by the name input, and an interceptor jsonValidatorWorkflowStack. struts.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.1//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.1.dtd"> <struts> <package name="default" extends="struts-default"> <action name="register" class="com.javatpoint.Register"> <result name="input">index.jsp</result> <result>welcome.jsp</result> </action> </package> </struts> 5) Create view componentIt is the simple jsp file displaying the information of the user. welcome.jsp<%@ taglib uri="/struts-tags" prefix="s" %> Welcome,<s:property value="username"/> |
