I had a similar requirement, only I was checking the value on my
<html:submit.... > buttons. I overrode the validate method for my
DynaValidatorActionForm, and then figured out how to go ahead and invoke
validator only for the 'continue' value. HTH.
<snip>
public class InsertForm extends DynaValidatorActionForm
{
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request)
{
ServletContext context = getServlet().getServletContext();
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
String submitAction = (String) get("submitAction");
if ((submitAction.equalsIgnoreCase("continue")) ||
(submitAction.equalsIgnoreCase("submit")))
{
/**
* call Validator if submitAction is 'continue' or
'submit'. Validator will return errors
* in the 'errors' object if any validation fails...
*/
Validator validator =
StrutsValidatorUtil.initValidator(mapping.getPath(), this, context, request,
errors, page);
try
{
validatorResults = validator.validate();
}
catch(ValidatorException ve)
{}
}
return errors;
}
}
