Server side validation
843840Aug 5 2007 — edited Oct 29 2007I want to create a JSP Form page on Tomcat with a form that has about 10 input entries where the form will validate all 10 fields and show validation errors on the same page as the original form JSP page.
For example, if someone has a blank entry on the Firstname field then it will show this message in red next to the field: First Name is required.
If the data passes the validations it will populate an Oracle database. Please advise any suggestions on how I should do this. I was thinking of submitting the fields to a Controller servlet then use the Enumeration class to get all field values where I would check for blanks. I assume if I use a bean and have a getter and setter method for each field I would then have 20 methods (10 setter and 10 getter methods) in the bean class.
I dont have Struts and need to know the best way to do this. Can anyone give me ideas or examples of how do to this?
