I have been facing a problem for past few hours, that whenever I use validations in my application I get empty values on server-side.
My action file seems like this:
@ParentPackage("interceptions")
@InterceptorRefs({
@InterceptorRef("loggingStack")
})
@Results({@Result(name="login",location="login.layout",type="tiles")})
public class LoginAction extends ActionSupport implements ModelDriven{
UpUser user = new UpUser();
String customField;
@Validations(requiredFields={@RequiredFieldValidator(type=ValidatorType.SIMPLE,fieldName="customField",message="YOU")})
@Action(value="/login",results={
@Result(name="success",location="secure.layout",type="tiles")})
public String execute() {
if(user.getUserScreenName()==null)
return "login";
System.out.println(userBo.verifyUser(user));
return "success";
}
public Object getModel(){
return user;
}
@VisitorFieldValidator(message="")
public UpUser getUser() {
return user;
}
public void setUser(UpUser user) {
this.user = user;
}
public String getCustomField() {
return customField;
}
public void setCustomField(String customField) {
this.customField = customField;
}
}
in my struts.xml I have defined my interceptor as:
<package name="interceptions" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">
<result-types>
<result-type name="tiles" class="org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult"/>
</result-types>
<interceptors>
<interceptor name="mylogging"
class="com.kiosk.lab.interceptor.LoggingInterceptor">
</interceptor>
<interceptor-stack name="loggingStack">
<interceptor-ref name="mylogging" />
<interceptor-ref name="validation">
<param name="validateAnnotatedMethodOnly">true</param>
<param name="excludeMethods">input,back,cancel,browse</param>
</interceptor-ref>
<interceptor-ref name="workflow">
<param name="excludeMethods">input,back,cancel,browse</param>
</interceptor-ref>
</interceptor-stack>
</interceptors>
</package>
JSP through which I am sending the data is:
<s:submit cssClass="loginButton"/>
Now I am not sure about this problem but, I have even removed ActionSupport from my action and added and tested it in both ways but, no luck. Secondly, if I comment out interception part in my struts.xml and remove validations tag from my action then each and everything works fine. Else customField value at server side is null.
Updates:
After few answers it's in validating the values fine because all the values are going null in java and it's showing actual error message. But, still I have been facing similar issue that it's not submitting values from JSP. As, it always come null and it's keep on posting the same validation error messages.
