Struts2 Ajax validation won't work

Question

I decided to use Struts 2 DOJO plugin for the ajax validation of my forms.

I have:

• Added Struts2 dojo and json plugin to project
• Added ' jsonValidationWorkflowStack ' intercepter to my actions
• Included dojo taglib and <sx:head /> tag on my page
• Included <sx:submit validate="true" /> in my form

Now, after populating fields my form will not submit. No action will be performed.

I would also like to mention that I run my validation programatically, instead of xml.

Answer 1

DOJO plugin is deprecated.

To make it work, however, you would need to set the ajax theme in struts.xml, or in <sx:head /> , but this theme is deprecated too, and not even shipped anymore in the Struts2 jar.

Use Struts2-jQuery plugin validation instead.

Also when talking about client-side validation, reading this might help .
