Struts2 - validation message displayed twice

[daheri]

For some reason validation error-messages are displayed twice in my appfuse2-struts application.

I am talking about the error messages displayed above the form.

 

After investigating and adding debug info to the messages.jsp, i found out that this one is displayed first:

<%-- FieldError Messages - usually set by validation rules –%>

 

Then just below it this one is displayed:

<%-- Error Messages (on JSPs, not through Struts –%>

 

So basicly, if my forms fail validation, the user will first be told twice about his error:

Example:

“Username is required”

“Username is required”

 

Then just above the field itself it will also be displayed that “Username is required”

 

Any ideas whats up with this?

 

Thanks in advance!

I found the same problem.
What I did was to comment-out the error messages on JSP, not through Struts. I don't know if this has any undesirable side-effect. Maybe it would be better to use and if-else logic?

I remember seeing this issue and removed the duplication. Then I discovered that errors didn't show up in some cases, so I left them in there. If you guys figure out the best solution, please let me know and I'll adjust things for the next release.

i recognize this. often i comment the errors so that they are in the source code but do not clutter the screen.

The question would be: is it possible that both error sections need to be displayed? In which situation would both have different error messages? If none, an if-else block would solve the duplication.

Seems to be an Struts upgrade effect. In AppFuse 2.0, messages.jsp is the same as in 2.1.0, and there are no duplications.

If you are using a table on ur jsp to display the form, then make sure that the table is a parent of the form tag. If the table is a child of form tag, the validation messages wont get cleared each time. Making the form tag as a child of table tag would solve your problem.
