Struts2 provides the declarative option to define the validation rules for the data fields in form. You can use the default implementation of validation framework of the struts2 to validate various kind of data. When you use the validation feature of the struts2, it is done server side by default. But setting
a single attribute of the form tag, it can be applied at client side.
Struts2 validation process can work on server side as well as client side. When it works at server side, server return input form containing validation error along with the text fields. when you use client side validation feature, the javascript will process the validate without sending the form data to server for validation.
it means data is validated before going to server. this javascript is generated by struts frame work into the rendered webpage having the form. this validation works when you set the validation attribute to true in the form tag. And you have the add the head tag of the struts taglib in head tag of the html page.
Here is the source code of the example that is using the struts validation on both sides.

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"a single attribute of the form tag, it can be applied at client side.
