Hi all.. I was wondering if anyone of you might know the answer to this question:
Does the ActionForm's (Form Bean) validate method get invoked if it is an initial request for the page? For example, I'm currently in www.yahoo.com. However, I would like to hit a site in secured server to perform some transactions. I type in https://www.testserver.com/dl.jsp. Upon pressing the return button, the testserver will receive a request for the dl.jsp page. Is there anyway to invoke the validate method in the form bean associated to the dl.jsp? If not, I was wondering if there are any suggestions on how can I validate username and id that was previously stored in a cookie during this initial page request. In other words, how can I make sure that the user requesting for the page has the privilege to view it? Thanks in advance for any help rendered. Cheers! Siong Siong H.
