Client side validation not working using validate()

Question

I am doing validation inside validate() method.

public void validate(){
    if(continent.equals(\"-1\")){
        HttpServletRequest request=ServletActionContext         


        

Answer 1

actually you shouldn't mix up server side and client side code. validate method can be invoked only in server side... So there is no way to use this method on client side. You need to write your own JS side validation as the same as server side validation.
