You can still label the cancel button as Back and it will submit to your action. -- Rick - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Disable validate in actionForm
hi I have an validate method in my actionform and everything works fine. I added a 'Back' button in my webpage, and therefore validation is not necessary if the 'Back' button is clicked. Validation should occurs only if 'Next' is selected. How do I stop struts from calling validate() is 'Back' is selected? Note : Both buttons are in the same form.

RE: Disable validate in actionForm
Sebestian, Where does control go when u click Back button? If this has to do 'browser like' back action, just call javascript. Why do u call struts action?

RE: Disable validate in actionForm
Hi
I think my situtation is kinda unique..
I have three buttons in a single form and my Action extends
LookupDispatchAction.
In my ExperimentForm (actionform), how do I disable validate if 'back'
is clicked?
struts-config.xml
--
action name=experimentForm path=/NewExperiment
input=CreateExperiment.jsp parameter=action scope=request
type=sg.edu.astar.flamingo.web.proteomics.view.NewExperimentAction
forward name=addexperiment path=/CreateExperiment.do/
forward name=next path=/CreateProjectSummary.do/
forward name=back path=/CreateProject.do/
/action
CreateExperiment.jsp

html:submit property=action value=Back
bean:message key=button.back/
/html:submit
/html:submit
html:submit property=action value=Create Experiment
bean:message key=button.createexperiment/
/html:submit
html:submit property=action value=Next
bean:message key=button.next/
/html:submit
applicationresources.properties
button.createexperiment=Create Experiment
button.next=Next
button.back=Back
NewExperimentAction.java

public class NewExperimentAction extends LookupDispatchAction
{
/**

map.put(button.createexperiment, createExperiment);
map.put(button.next, next);
map.put(button.back, back);
return map;
}

System.out.println(next());
return mapping.findForward(next);

}

Map it to a different actionMapping and set validate=fasle;
ie the submit and back button should have a different actionmapping

hi
I have an validate method in my actionform and everything works fine. I
added a 'Back' button in my webpage, and therefore validation is not
necessary if the 'Back' button is clicked. Validation should occurs only
if 'Next' is selected.
How do I stop struts from calling validate() is 'Back' is selected?
Note : Both buttons are in the same form.
Thanks

RE: Disable validate in actionForm
Tried javascript and it works fine. The reasons I try not to use javascript : 1. since struts is used, i thought all control should be visible in the controller and not as javascripts in the JSP. 2. User might turn off javascript. sebastian ho On Tue, 2004-08-17 at 15:57, Aru wrote: Sebestian, Where does control go when u click Back button?

RE: Disable validate in actionForm
Sebastien, I use this technique, it works but i dont know if it is 'good practice' 1. Change your 'back' button from a submit to a cancel button (thereby avoiding validation) 2. Set the action of the button to 'previous' using javascript . 3. pick up the 'previous' in a DispatchAction class and forward to appropriate place. Note that if you use LookUpDispatchAction i think you may be able to avoid the javascript. regards Richard Richard Aukland 49 Ravensmere, Beccles, Suffolk, UK.

RE: Disable validate in actionForm
Thanks Richard I fixed the Back problem using javascript (using javascript history.back()). Although it is resolved, I am still very much interested in the struts solution without using javascript. sebastian On Tue, 2004-08-17 at 18:46, Richard Aukland wrote: Sebastien, I use this technique, it works but i dont know if it is 'good practice' 1.

what about checking for the back property in your
validate method (as i wrote few mails ago)?
according to your description of CreateExperiment.jsp just
change the proposed code to:
8 snip -
public ActionErrors validate ( ... ) {
if (! back.equals (getAction ()) ) {
super.validate ( ... );
// another validations if needed
}
}
8 snip -
i still suppose you have defined property action
in your form bean.

RE: Disable validate in actionForm
I suppose this is how I do it?
html:submit property=action value=Create Experiment
bean:message key=button.createexperiment/
html:hidden property=selection
value=createexperiment /
/html:submit
And in my ActionForm :
if(getSelection().equals(createexperiment)) {
//validate
}
But getSelection returns me a null and I don't know why..
