In my struts.xml, i have

createChannel.jsp

In JSP page i have:











Result:

I have model class Channel with annotation validations as:

public class Channel {
    private int channelId;
    private String channelName;
    private String channelBand;
    private double vcFrequency;
    private double acFrequency;
    private String chargeType; //PrePaid or PostPaid
    private String transmissionType; //HD or Standard
    private double channelCharge;

    private Set channelPackage;

    public Channel(){
        channelPackage=new HashSet<>();
    }

    public int getChannelId() {
        return channelId;
    }

    public void setChannelId(int channelId) {
        this.channelId = channelId;
    }

    @RequiredStringValidator(trim=true,type=ValidatorType.FIELD,message="Please enter valid channel name")
    public String getChannelName() {
        return channelName;
    }

    public void setChannelName(String channelName) {
        this.channelName = channelName;
    }
    @RequiredStringValidator(trim=true,type=ValidatorType.FIELD,message="Please enter valid channel band")
    public String getChannelBand() {
        return channelBand;
    }

    public void setChannelBand(String channelBand) {
        this.channelBand = channelBand;
    }
    @DoubleRangeFieldValidator(type = ValidatorType.SIMPLE,fieldName = "vcFrequency",minInclusive = "40",maxInclusive = "225",message = "The scale must be between ${minInclusive} and ${maxInclusive} (exclusive)")
    public double getVcFrequency() {
        return vcFrequency;
    }

    public void setVcFrequency(double vcFrequency) {
        this.vcFrequency = vcFrequency;
    }
    @DoubleRangeFieldValidator(type = ValidatorType.SIMPLE,fieldName = "acFrequency",minInclusive = "45",maxInclusive = "230",message = "The scale must be between ${minInclusive} and ${maxInclusive} (exclusive)")
    public double getAcFrequency() {
        return acFrequency;
    }

    public void setAcFrequency(double acFrequency) {
        this.acFrequency = acFrequency;
    }

    public String getChargeType() {
        return chargeType;
    }

    public void setChargeType(String chargeType) {
        this.chargeType = chargeType;
    }


    public String getTransmissionType() {
        return transmissionType;
    }

    public void setTransmissionType(String transmissionType) {
        this.transmissionType = transmissionType;
    }
    @DoubleRangeFieldValidator(type = ValidatorType.SIMPLE,fieldName = "channelCharge",minExclusive = "20.5",maxExclusive = "78.5",message = "The scale must be between ${minExclusive} and ${maxExclusive} (exclusive)")
    public double getChannelCharge() {
        return channelCharge;
    }

    public void setChannelCharge(double channelCharge) {
        this.channelCharge = channelCharge;
    }


    public Set getChannelPackage() {
        return channelPackage;
    }

    public void setChannelPackage(Set channelPackage) {
        this.channelPackage = channelPackage;
    }

    public String toString(){
        return channelId+": "+channelName;
    }

}

My action class implements the Model Driven Interface. My Problem is:

Even if I submit the form with correct data, my form shows error messages.
Along with the error messages, The input result returned is shown in the result div. Which means I have two forms on jsp page after clicking submit button.
If i remove the jsonValidationWorkflowStack interceptors from struts.xml My form is getting submitted twice.

Here is a screenshot after submission:

Please help me get this right.

So many questions in a single one... BTW, here we go:

1. Even if I submit the form with correct data, my form shows error messages.

This is due to the Interceptor Stack you are using:

that is defined as


    
    
        input,back,cancel

and basicStack is

As you can see, no ModelDriven Interceptor is involved here. If you want to keep using ModelDriven, you need to:

add ModelDriven Interceptor, and
ensure it runs before the Validation Interceptor, otherwise the parameters you are sending will not be (yet) set on the model when the validation will be performed. Read this answer to understand exactly what I mean.

This should be enough:


    
    
    createSuccess.jsp
    createChannel.jsp

2. Along with the error messages, The input result returned is shown in the result div. Which means I have two forms on jsp page after clicking submit button.

This is obvious, your design is like that, how is it supposed to change automagically in case of INPUT ? You need to rethink your design. For example, you can target the form you are in, something like:

Then both in case of INPUT and SUCCESS, you return a message, the form and the fields repopulated. It would be better to create a JSP snippet to be used in the original page too with , to follow DRY.
