Stripes Tag Library
Tag errors

Outputs validation errors. If an action attribute is specified, will only render errors if the submitted form action matches the specified one. Otherwise, if nested inside a stripes form tag, will only display errors if they are for the enclosing form. Otherwise will display errors for whatever form was submitted. Can optionally take a field name to limit output to a single field's errors.

By default will output a simple header followed by a list of validation errors in an HTML unordered list. This behaviour can be customized in two ways. The first will affect the default output of the errors tag on all pages within the application. The errors tag will consult the error messages resource bundle (probably StripesResources.properties unless you have configured it differently) for four String resources which it will use to construct the output. The four properties, and their default values are:

• stripes.errors.header=<div class="errorHeader">Validation Errors</div><ul>
• stripes.errors.footer=</ul>
• stripes.errors.beforeError=<li>
• stripes.errors.afterError=</li>

The second way to customize the output affects only the output on a specific page. The nestable tags are: stripes:individual-error, stripes:error-header and stripes:error-footer. An example, re-creating the default output using this technique follow:

<stripes:errors>
     <stripes:errors-header><div class="errorHeader">Validation Errors</div><ul></stripes:errors-header>
     <li><stripes:individual-error/></li>
     <stripes:errors-footer></ul></stripes:errors-footer>
</stripes:errors>
