Hi,
The following are the steps I followed:
1. Create a new project
2. Drag and drop a textField
3. In the properties sheet check the required property for the textField
4. Drag and drop a button and an outputText
5. Right click on the session bean in the Project Navigator and add a property named txtVal
6. Double click on the button and in the button_action method enter the following lines of code
getSessionBean1().setTxtVal((String)textField1.getValue());
outputText1.setValue(getSessionBean1().getTxtVal());
7. Click on the jsp tab for the page1.jsp and add the following lines of code inside the form tags
<iframe align="right" height="80" src="http://www.yahoo.com" style="left: 48px; top: 264px; position: absolute" width="40%">
<p>See our newsflashes.</p>
</iframe>
8. Switch to the design view of Page1.jsp
9. Drag and drop a message list component onto Page1.jsp
10. Drag and drop a datatable
11. Drag and drop the PERSON table from the travel database
12. Save and run the application
On clicking on the button without entering a value we see that an error message " Validation Error: Value is required." is displayed by the message component. Also the rest of the components like the datatable also display tthe expected values.
Hope this helps
Cheers
