In Struts 2,
I am trying to skip validation on method base on XML configuration.
As per my application I can not use annotation. So I cannot use @SkipValidation
annotation. Is there any alternative for this?
I have one action class which has five methods create
, update
, delete
, search
, and view
. I want to validate only two methods create
and update
.
You should configure in the struts.xml package with interceptors
<interceptors>
<interceptor-stack name="validateWorkflowStack">
<interceptor-ref name="basicStack"/>
<!-- ... whatever interceptors -->
<interceptor-ref name="validation">
<param name="excludeMethods">delete, search, view</param>
</interceptor-ref>
<interceptor-ref name="workflow"/>
</interceptor-stack>
</interceptors>
then use action configuration
<action name="create" class="your.package.CreateAction" method="create">
<result name="input">/path/to/form.jsp</result>
<interceptor-ref name="validateWorkflowStack"/>
</action>
apply interceptor to each action that has a validation interceptor referenced explicitly on action or implicitly via <default-interceptor-ref
on the package.
You must configure validation
interceptor for your action to exclude methods names that you do not want to be validated.
<action name="..." class="...">
<interceptor-ref name="defaultStack">
<param name="validation.excludeMethods">input,back,cancel,browse,delete,search,view</param>
</interceptor-ref>
<result>...</result>
</action>
