In struts-config.xml For action userAdd.do enter a parameter validate="false" .
Something like this : <action path="/user/userAdd" type="..." name="..." validate="false"> </action> Regards, Dimitar -----Original Message----- From: regatta DeBlanc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 9:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Struts html:link tag How can I use the html:link tag to reference a page, without trigerring the validation process. e.g. <html:link page="/user/userAdd.do"> This will trigger the validate() operation in the userAddForm and the perform() operation in userAddAction, BEFORE displaying the page userAdd.jsp. The problem here is that I have added a check in the validate() operation so that it adds an ActionError if the user did not fill in the username text box. But this check is meant for when the user hits the submit button, not when the page is first loaded. When referencing the page with: <html:link page="/user/userAdd.do"> how can I differentiate, in the ActionForm and Action operations, between the case when the page is first loaded and the case when the user hits the submit button?? I know I can solve the problem by referencing the page as follows: <html:link page="/jsp/user/userAdd.jsp"> but I want to try to do it the "Struts" way so that I can load the page with templates that are derived in the Action. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
