Hello: I have a simple scenario that I need help with. While a user is adding or editing information on a data entry screen (it is the same ActionForm and Action) - to click a button to save the information as the defaults for any subsequent new data entry screen. This saving of the default values would be done without running the data validation code. Yet I would like to make sure that when the user hits the 'Submit' or 'Save' button - the system does the appropriate data validation before saving the information away. My question is how do I do this with Struts? I am trying to use the 'Wintec' validation routines (but I think this would be the same problem if I was using them or not) - but I am not sure how to do 'sometimes data validation' on a data entry screen. I started off with a button on the screen: <html:submit> <bean:message key="button.setDefault"/> </html:submit> but I could not get this to work. I could not get the button to do anything other than trying to submit the information (but that is probably another issue). Since I could not get the 'button' to work - I was then trying to use a link: <html:link SomeForm.do?action=setDefault/>. This would at least call the 'peform()' method with the correct action, but I had to turn off the validation in 'struts-config.xml'. Any help or suggestions would get greatly appreciated.
