Question

Validation is working fine. On Add action loading the new form for the user to fill in. Once submitted the validation is done on processAdd(). All is fine.

Problem:

User fill in the form at http://localhost:8000/Struts2_Spring_Crud/student/add.When submitted than processed & validated through http://localhost:8000/Struts2_Spring_Crud/student/processAdd. If validation failed my url is /processAdd. I want to be at /add when validation fails. Is there any way to do this?

<s:form action="processAdd" method="POST">
    <s:submit method="execute" value="#title"/>
 </s:form>

  public String execute() throws Exception {
        System.out.println("execute() executed");
        //Process form data
        return SUCCESS;
    }

    public String input() throws Exception {
        System.out.println("input() executed");
        //Prepare form data
        return INPUT;
    }

     <default-action-ref name="list"/>
        <action name="list" class="com.myapp.actions.StudentAction" method="getAllStudents">
            <result name="success" type="tiles">/student.list.tiles</result>
        </action>

        <action name="add" class="com.myapp.actions.StudentAction" method="input">
            <result name="input" type="tiles">/student.edit.tiles</result>
            <result name="failure" type="tiles">/student.edit.tiles</result>
        </action>

        <action name="processAdd" class="com.myapp.actions.StudentAction">
            <result name="success" type="redirectAction">list</result>
            <result name="input" type="tiles">/student.edit.tiles</result>
            <result name="failure" type="redirectAction">add</result>
        </action>

  <result name="success" type="redirectAction">list</result>
  <result name="input" type="redirectAction">add</result>
  <result name="failure" type="redirectAction">add</result>
</action>
