Struts2 XML Validations Example, Declarative Validations In Struts
Struts » on Oct 25, 2011 { 8 Comments } By Sivateja
In struts 2 we have 3 types of validations
- Programmatic validations [ manually ]
- Declarative validations [ xml validations ]
- Using Annotations
i already explained how we can do programmatic validations, now will see how to do declarative validations, friends observe am going to use multiple validations rules for the field mail
Example
files required…
- index.jsp
- success.jsp
- error.jsp
- LogingEx.java [ in java4s package ]
- LogingEx-validation.xml [ in java4s package, must be with that .class file]
- web.xml [ in web-inf ]
- struts.xml [ in web-inf/classes folder ]
