Description

WebWork The framework adds support for client-side validation on top of XWork's the standard validation framework.

Client-side validation It can be enabled on a per-form basis by specifying validate="true" in the form tag:.

<ww<s:form name="test" action="javascriptValidation" validate="true">
  ...
</wws:form>

If a name for the form

...

is not given, the action mapping name will be used as the form name.

A Otherwise, a correct action and namespace attributes must be provided to the <ww <saf:form> tag. For example, the Action named

...

...

<s

<ww:form namespace="/user" action="submitProfile" validate="true">
  ...
</wws:form>

While the following will "work" in the sense that the form will function correctlyTechnically, the form's action attribute can refer to a "path" that includes the namespace and action as a URI. But, client-side validation will not: requires that the action name and namespeact to be set separately.

<s
<ww:form action="/user/submitProfile.action" validate="true">
  ...
</wws:form>

All the standard usual validation configuration steps still apply to client-side validation. Client-side validation uses the same validation rules as server-side validation. If server-side validation doesn't work, then client-side validation won't work either.
