For Stripes validation, the error message is returned to new page

Question

I'm having an issue using Stripes validation method. It works but rather than returning an ajax message to display an error message in the error div, I get a whole new page with that error meesage.

I'm going exactly like the example from this page: http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/AJAX

So when the validation message should be replacing the html of < div class='error'>, it just brings up a fresh new page with the error message.

any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

JSP:

< td>
< div style= left" id="searchError"></ div>
< /td>
< td style="text-align: right">
< stripes:submit name="search" onclick="invoke(this.form, this.name);">
< fmt:message key="search.submit"/>
</ stripes:submit>
< input name="" type="text" value="" style="display:none" />            
</ td>

JS:

function invoke(form, name) {
    var params = $(form).serialize();
    $.ajax({
        url: form.action,
        data:name+"&"+params,
        type:'post',
        dataType: 'html',
        success: function(data) {
            if (data.indexOf("link:") == 0) {
                window.location = data.substring(5);
            }  else {
                $('#searchError').html(data);
            }
        }
    });
    return false;
};

ActionBean :

@Validate(mask="\\d*")
private String poNo;

Does your ActionBean implement ValidationErrorHandler?

It sounds like the resolution you get when the validation is failing is getContext().getSourcePageResolution()...

Your validation method should be implemented the following way:

/** Converts errors to HTML and streams them back to the browser. */
public Resolution handleValidationErrors(ValidationErrors errors) throws Exception {
    StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();

    for (List<ValidationError> fieldErrors : errors.values()) {
        for (ValidationError error : fieldErrors) {
            message.append("<div class=\"error\">");
            message.append(error.getMessage(getContext().getLocale()));
            message.append("</div>");
        }
    }

    return new StreamingResolution("text/html", new StringReader(message.toString()));
}
