Re: Dynamic Form Submission
First, I assume that you are using path mappings for Validator.
You can use two separate forms as you suggested; however, if you don't
want to duplicate form fields and it makes more sense from a usability
perspective to have a single form--you can change the action for the
form on the fly using JavaScript like the following:
function swapAction(control) {
formAction = document.getElementById("empForm").action;
if (control.checked)
newAction = '
Re: Dynamic Form Submission
You can use the same Action and the same ActionForm, but you can map two different action mappings in struts-config.xml. Set validation to "true" on one and "false" on the other.
