<!-- ========== Form Bean Definitions ================================== -->
<form-beans>

</action-mappings>
URl:http://localhost:8080/PracticeProgram/helloWorldForm.do
Check your case, com.mkyong.common.form.helloWorldForm should be com.mkyong.common.form.HelloWorldForm and com.PracticeProgram.common.action.HelloWorldAction should be com.practiceprogram.common.action.HelloWorldAction
Are you sure this 2 classes exist in your war in WEB-INF/classes with correct package name ?

I am trying to use struts 2 custom validation framework for validations, however that does not seem to be working. I am working on a very big project and the module I'm working on, I'm trying to implement this.
The problem struts 2 is not detecting my validation.xml. I tried creating a sample project and and used this validation.xml and it is working, but the same is not working in the project.
I am using model driven , I hope that should not be the problem.
The basic validations provided by action support are working fine but not my validations.
<interceptors>
<interceptor name="multiselect" class="org.apache.struts2.interceptor.MultiselectInterceptor" />
<interceptor name="browserCachingInterceptor" class="com.comviva.im.ui.interceptor.BrowserCachingInterceptor" />
<interceptor name="sessionHijackInterceptor" class="com.comviva.im.ui.interceptor.SessionHijackInterceptor" />
<interceptor name="tokenSession" class="org.apache.struts2.interceptor.TokenSessionStoreInterceptor" />
<interceptor-stack name="defaultSecurityStack">
<interceptor-ref name="defaultStack">
<param name="exception.logEnabled">true</param>
<param name="exception.logLevel">DEBUG</param>
</interceptor-ref>
<interceptor-ref name="tokenSession">
<param name="excludeMethods">*</param>
</interceptor-ref>
<interceptor-ref name="sessionHijackInterceptor" />
<interceptor-ref name="browserCachingInterceptor" />
</interceptor-stack>
</interceptors>
<default-interceptor-ref name="defaultSecurityStack"></default-interceptor-ref>
The interceptor declaration is also fine.
I tried for days but still cant figure out the problem. the only option remaining is debug.
Can anybody suggest me where should I be looking for. Where is the validation.xml file is loaded in ActionInvocation so that I can check if validation file was loaded properly or not.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

This is extract from my action class:
public class NodeAction extends BaseAction implements ModelDriven<NodeConfigurationForm>, ParameterAware ,Preparable {
NodeConfigurationForm nodeConfigForm = new NodeConfigurationForm();
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(NodeAction.class);
private NodeConfigurationService configurationService;
private List<NodeConfiguration> nodeListTable = null;
Map<String , String[]> requestParams;
private int isFallBackChannelEnable;
private int smsSupportEnable;
private ServletContext servletContext;
MY NodeAction class extends BaseAction which extends ActionSupport which by default is validation aware.So NodeAction should work with custom validations also.
This is extract from my struts.xml regarding actions:
<action name="createGWNode" method="create" class="com.comviva.im.ui.ussdGateway.action.NodeAction">
<result name="success" type="tiles">createGWNode</result>
</action>
<action name="addGWNode" method="add" class="com.comviva.im.ui.ussdGateway.action.NodeAction">
<result name="success" type="chain">listGWNodes</result>
<result name="input" type="tiles">createGWNode</result>
<result name="error" type="tiles">createGWNode</result>
</action>
<action name="editGWNode" method="edit" class="com.comviva.im.ui.ussdGateway.action.NodeAction">
<result name="success" type="tiles">createGWNode</result>

<result name="success" type="redirect">listGWNodes</result>
<result name="input" type="tiles">createGWNode</result>
<result name="error" type="tiles">createGWNode</result>
</action>
And this is my jsp
<s:textfield name="nodeId" required="true" theme="simple" />reado
<s:radio name="status" list="#{'1':'Enable','0':'Disable'}" theme="simple"></s:radio>
<s:textfield name="gwInstanceName" theme="simple" />
<s:textarea name="description" cols="30" rows="2" theme="simple"/>
<s:textfield name="serverIp" theme="simple"/>
<s:textfield name="serverIp" theme="simple" readonly=< s:textfield name="loginUserId" theme="simple"/>
<s:password name="loginPassword" showPassword="true" theme="simple"/>
<s:textfield name=" selfISDNNumber " theme="simple "/>
<s:select name="logLevel " list="logLevelList " theme="simple "/>
Note: Please remove _ Underscore from selfISDN_num
Check proper jar files.
Xwork: Core 2.3.16.2 API
And check getter , setters
Note: Please check package name in struts.xml, does it extend struts-default?
<package name="Registration" namespace="/" extends="struts-default">
...
</package>
Finally found what was going wrong.
The DTD specified in validaiton.xml was wrong. The specifed DTD is for 2.3 onwards. I was using struts with a lower version.
I am now using
<!DOCTYPE validators PUBLIC
"-//OpenSymphony Group//XWork Validator 1.0//EN"
"http://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/xwork-validator-1.0.2.dtd">
I have to massage some XML like this:
<Action ID="actDashboardRenamePanel" Type="Link">
<Target Type="Link" Link="javascript: LogiXML.Dashboard.pageDashboard.rdShowRenamePanel('rdDashboardPanelID', 'rdPnlInstanceID');" ID="tgtRenamepanel" />
</Action>
</PopupOption>
<PopupOption Caption="Remove" ID="ppoRemove_rdPnlInstanceID">
<Action ID="actDashboardRemovePanel" Type="Link" ConfirmMessage="Remove? Are you sure?">
<Target Type="Link" Link="javascript: LogiXML.Dashboard.pageDashboard.rdRemoveDashboardPanel('rdDashboardPanelID');" />
</Action>
</PopupOption>
within a Logi Analytics program.
I am using this XPATH:
<DefinitionModifier>
<SetAttribute XPath="//Action[#ID[starts-with(.,'ppoRemove_')]]" Caption="Remove###" />
</DefinitionModifier>
Do I use starts-with correctly (it currently does not work).
It seems that you meant to filter <Action> by ID of <PopupOption>. If this is the case, you can try following XPath :
//PopupOption[starts-with(#ID,'ppoRemove_')]/Action
I am trying to validate user credentials details during application log in.I have changed my struts config and validation xml but the validation gets invoked on the page load itself.
I want that this validation should be invoked only during the click of a button(submit button).
My struts config is as under:
<action-mappings>
<action attribute="loginForm" input="jsp/LoginPage.jsp" name="loginForm"
parameter="method" path="/loginAction" scope="request"
type="com.pcs.bpems.portal.struts.action.LoginAction" validate="false">
<forward name="schoolloginpage" path="/jsp/SchoolLoginPage.jsp" />
</action>
<action attribute="loginForm" input="/jsp/SchoolLoginPage.jsp" name="loginForm"
parameter="method" path="/loginAction" scope="request"
type="com.pcs.bpems.portal.struts.action.LoginAction" validate="true">
<forward name="schoolloginpage" path="/jsp/SchoolLoginPage.jsp" />
<forward name="schoolhomepage" path="/ownerHome.do?method=showHome" />
</action>
My validation xml is as under
<form name="loginForm">
<field property="userId" depends="required,minlength">
<arg0 key="label.userName"/>
<var>
<var-name>minlength</var-name>
<var-value>6</var-value>
</var>
<arg1 key="${var:minlength}" resource="false" />
</field>
<field property="password" depends="required,minlength">
<arg0 key="label.password"/>
<var>
<var-name>minlength</var-name>
<var-value>6</var-value>
</var>
<arg1 key="${var:minlength}" resource="false" />
</field>
</form>
#Anish Try this code instead of your first LoginAction attribute,
<action path="/loginAction" parameter="method"
type="com.pcs.bpems.portal.struts.action.LoginAction" validate="false">
<forward name="schoolloginpage" path="/jsp/SchoolLoginPage.jsp" />
</action>
My thought is form name is not necessary for load the form, though you are made validate attribute to false. Let me know if this helps.
If you do not pass through the input, Struts performs the validation. There are several ways to solve it.
Request directly to the JSP
Make a request to the JSP file directly and not through the org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.
http://localhost:8080/MyContext/jsp/SchoolLoginPage.jsp
With a forward
<action path="/login" forward="/jsp/SchoolLoginPage.jsp" />
Use:
http://localhost:8080/MyContext/login.do
My struts-config.xml has a few forward actions that point to tiles definitions. But it takes path as it is given & doesn't directed to the tiles-definition.xml & showing path does not start with a "/" character
My struts-config.xml is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">

<set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
<set-property property="definitions-config" value="/WEB-INF/tiles-definition.xml" />
</plug-in>
</struts-config>
tiles-definition.xml is :
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 1.1//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd">
<component-definitions>
<definition name="feelsafe.common" path="/feelsafeLayout/layout.jsp">
<put name="title" type="string" value="FeelSafe Hospital"/>
<put name="header1" value="/feelsafeLayout/header.jsp"/>
<put name="footer1" value="/feelsafeLayout/footer.jsp"/>
</definition>
<definition name="feelsafe.login" extends="feelsafe.common">
<put name="body1" value="/feelsafeJspFiles/login.jsp"/>
</definition>
<definition name="feelsafe.admin" extends="feelsafe.common">
<put name="body1" value="/feelsafeAdminJspFiles/adminlogin.jsp"/>
</definition>
</component-definitions>
When login is called, control goes to forward tag & gives 500 Error saying :
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: javax.servlet.ServletException:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Exception forwarding for name login1:
javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
Path feelsafe.login does not start with a "/" character
I get the same error when i removed this snippet from init params of my action servlet in web.xml
...
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
...
<init-param>
<param-name>chainConfig</param-name>
<param-value>org/apache/struts/tiles/chain-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
So when you use an old version of dtd like 1.1 try to add this init-param to action servlet to your web.xml file.
I tested on 1.3
I trying to use struts2 validation framework. I have a ActionName-validation.xml in place. Entry in the struts.xml is as follows
<action name="registerCandidateStep1" class="candidateAction"
method="registerCandidateStep1">
<result name="success" type="tiles">registerCandidate</result>
<result name="input" type="chain">
<param name="actionName">loadCandidateRegistrationForm</param>
<param name="namespace">/.secureActions</param>
</result>
</action>
<action name="loadCandidateRegistrationForm" class="loadCandidateFromAction"
method="loadCandidateRegistrationForm">
<result name="success" type="tiles">registerCandidate</result>
</action>
on error condition request do get forwarded to "loadCandidateRegistrationForm" but i dont see error on the page. I have included tag in the jsp

Action chaining is actively discouraged, and interactions with the validation interceptor is one reason why. You might be able to sneak around it by explicitly mapping some values (like the validation messages) from one action to the next, but... don't chain actions--there's almost never a reason to do so.
Like Dave said, Action Chaining is discouraged.
Action Chaining :
Don't Try This at Home
As a rule, Action Chaining is not recommended.
First explore other options, such as the Redirect After Post
technique.
And if you have good reason to use Redirect After Post, use the
Redirect Result + Message Store Interceptor OR
Redirect Action Result + Message Store Interceptor
Life time of Errors lasts for the current Action. If you forward/redirect to another action, then the errors will be lost.
Use session scope instead. Place ArrayList in session and append your errors/messages.
Action/Interceptor:
Map session = ActionContext.getContext().getSession();
List<String> errors = session.get("errorMessages");
if(errors==null)
session.put("errorMessages", errors=new ArrayList<String>() );
errors.add("Invalid Username/Password. Kindly retry");
JSP:
<s:iterator var="msg" value="#session.errorMessages" >
<p> ${msg} </p>
</s:iterator>
<s:set scope="session" var="errorMessages" value="%{null}" /><%--flush errors--%>
