I have a login modal. The modal(bootstrap) form is a part of header.jsp which gets included in every JSP. How do I get action error messages back to my modal if user enters wrong username/password?
Struts.xml
<action name="authenticate" method="login"
class="app.resumerepo.in.action.LoginAction">
<interceptor-ref name="loginCheck" />
<result name="success" type="redirect">myaccount.action</result>
<result name="input"> </result>
<result name="error">/jsp/common/error.jsp</result>
</action>
for the result "input" what I should mention so that I get action error messages on to Login modal?
Ensure your loginCheck
is an Interceptor Stack, and not a single Interceptor. In the latter case, create a custom Interceptor Stack with your loginCheck
Interceptor inside, or declare both your Interceptor and the defaultStack
like this:
<action name="authenticate" method="login"
class="app.resumerepo.in.action.LoginAction">
<interceptor-ref name="loginCheck" />
<interceptor-ref name="defaultStack" />
...
In your code it is not shown how you landed on the login page; btw, to make it work as you are asking, just configure the input
result to return the JSP page you are coming from, eg:
<result name="input">login.jsp</result>
Take a look at this example that may help.
