Validation Framework Question..
I use html links that point to an action in my jsps, so that i can do some initialization before displaying a jsp. for example: html:link href=department.doNew Department/html:link clicking on link department.do takes the control to the action class(DepartmentAction) which forwards to department.jsp I use validation framework to validate my form(DepartmentForm). as i have a .do link, validation fails due to validator framework, since the newly created form is empty and as a result my input which is department.jsp is displayed with validation errors even for the first time its displayed. i use the same action(DepartmentAction) for creating,editing too. i want to bypass the validation framework when the action is executed by clicking the .do link, but active when submit button(for create , edit) is clicked. if i do the validation in my action class by coding the validation in a validate method , i can bypass calling the validation method in the action class when link is clicked and call the validate method only for create , edit when submit button is used. This is not a problem if i link directly to a jsp using html:link href=department.jspNew Department/html:link but by doing this i am navigating to a jsp(view) from another jsp(view) without the controller in between thus breaking MVC. what is the best solution to this problem. any commnets are welcome. thanks form-bean name=departmentForm type=DepartmentForm /form-bean action path=/department type=DepartmentAction name=departmentForm scope=request validate=true input=department.jsp forward name=success path=department.jsp/ forward name=failure path=failure.jsp/ /action -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-help;jakarta.apache.org
Re: Validation Framework Question..
Hi, Could you perhaps use a different path for new departments... for instance... newDepartment.do that maps to DepartmentAction but does not do the validation? -Tony (is it close enough to Friday to post a [FRIDAY] yet?)
