validation not working properly in struts2

Question

Problem is when I try to validate fields through struts validation. It dosent work .... I can see error message on tomcat.

I post my code here,

Register.jsp

  <s:form action="insertdata">
  <s:textfield name="username" key="label.uname" required="true"/>
  <s:password name="password" key="label.pass" required="true"/>
  <s:password name="cpassword" key="label.cpass" required="true"/>
  <s:textfield name="emailid" key="label.mail" required="true"/>
  <s:textfield name="mobileno" key="label.mobileno" required="true"/>
  <s:datetimepicker name="dob" key="label.dob" displayFormat="MM/dd/yy" required="true"/>
  <s:submit value="Register"/>
</s:form>

struts.xml

<action name="insertdata" class="com.curd.action.InsertAction">
  <result name="success">RegisterSuccessful.jsp</result>
  <result name="error">NotRegister.jsp</result>
</action>

InsertAction.java(Action Class)

public class InsertAction {
    private String username,password,cpassword,emailid;
    private int mobileno;
    private Date dob;   
    DAO dao=new DAO();
    public String execute(){
        return "success";
    else
        return "error";
    }

InsertAction-validation.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    </field-validator>
  </field>

Not indenting code and XML is a horrible idea; it's impossible to think about.

The error message:

SEVERE: Attribute "name" is required and must be specified for element type "param".

So. Do you have any <param> elements around line 30?

<param minLength="10"></param>

Oh look, there's no name attribute for that <param> element.

Also, your execute() method is suspicious, and it's not clear if you have public setters for your action properties.

"Also, your execute() method is suspicious": I laughed out loud on that :D – Andrea Ligios Oct 31 '13 at 10:51
