Can I create two methods in the same Action Class? If so how can we specify it in the struts.xml
file ?
For example : I created a simple validation action class to validate the email address
as well as password
using two separate regular expression.
I created two Methods in the Action class say: emailVerification()
and passVerification()
.
I wrote all the necessary validation code inside, but now when they return SUCCESS
they should result into the same success page result and for ERROR
likewise..
Yes you can create any number of methods in an Action Class. You can do something like this
package com.myvalidation;
public class MyValidationClass extends ActionSupport
{
public String emailVerification() throws Exception
{
//Your validation logic for email validation
return SUCCESS;
}
public String passVerification() throws Exception
{
//Your validation logic for password validation
return SUCCESS;
}
}
struts.xml
<action name="emailVerification" method="emailVerification" class="com.myvalidation.MyValidationClass">
<result name="success">/your_success_jsp.jsp</result>
<result name="input">/your_error_jsp.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="passVerification" method="passVerification" class="com.myvalidation.MyValidationClass">
<result name="success">/your_success_jsp.jsp</result>
<result name="input">/your_error_jsp.jsp</result>
</action>
