Struts 2 validate specific action in xml

Question

I want to validate specific method only in action class. Action method is this.

public String add() throws Exception {

         


        

Answer 1

Use an action alias: map different methods of an Action to different action aliases in struts.xml, and instead of the single yourAction-validation.xml file, add a yourAction-yourAlias-validation.xml for the validators you want to perform for that method only.

EDIT

No its not validation anything now.

 
    
         
            You cannot leave the aoName address field empty.
         
    

name is OraganisationAction-add-validation.xml and put it with action class package. Is there anything to enable validation in struts.xml ?

If you have a correctly configured (for example the default) Interceptor Stack, validation is already enabled. If you are using a file named OraganisationAction-add-validation.xml, that means that:

• your action CLASS must be named OraganisationAction.java;

• your action mapping in struts.xml must be the following:

  
      yourResult.jsp
  
  

Look for typos, check your Interceptor Stack, and it will work automatically.
