I usually use the same action with two mappings (one with validation, one without) and the parameter-setting to distinguish between the two situations...
Yes you get two mappings, but at least the important stuff (java-code) is reused... hope this helps Alexander Jesse -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 9:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JSPs past WEB-INF --- Please Help! I have been trying to figure this out for a while now, but have had no luck. Any help would be soooo greatly appreciated. Here it is: If you place your jsps past the WEB-INF and do not hit them directly then what is the easiest way to implement a "first-visit". i.e. the first time you go to a page it doesn't show the errors, but each other time it does? I have done this otherwise by having them go directly to the jsp the first time, and then having them submit to the action, but I can't send them directly to the JSP if it is past the WEB-INF. I have also done this by creating a new mapping that set validate="false", but then there is some duplication as far as the mappings. Is there any easier way to do it?
