Hi everybody

I dont see an error in my jsp when I dont fill in a textfield. I use struts 1.2

Then next code checks for empty fields in my form class

public ActionErrors validate(
        ActionMapping mapping,
        HttpServletRequest request) {
        ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
        if (name == null || "".equalsIgnoreCase(name)) {
            errors.add("name", new ActionMessage("geen naam ingevuld"));
        }
        if (description == null || "".equalsIgnoreCase(description)){
            errors.add("description", new ActionMessage("geen omschrijving ingevuld"));
        }
        if (errors.size() != 0) {
            
            return errors;
        } 
        return null;
    }

In my jsp I try to retrieve the error using the following code

<td><html:errors property="description" /></td>

I am using struts 1.2 and since 1.2 ActionError is deprecated, So I use ActionMessage instead as recommended. Does anybody know if this is the cause and what I have to add or change to make the error displaying work?

Kind regards, Jarno

Jarno, have you tried debugging the code and stepping through your validate method to make sure your input isn’t actually ” ” by mistake or something like that? My struts is a bit rusty though.
