Hey there.
I upgraded my app to use Struts 1.1 validation. This includes extending ValidationForm and using validation.xml for field validations. The problem I'm running into is that when the register form page is loaded for the first time, the "Validation Errors" section is being displayed. For some reason messagesPresent is true, which means that the request contains either a ActionMessage or ActionErrors object. This works fine if my app renders directly to JSPs, but my app is built so that all requests are handled by LookupDispatchActions. So, if a JSP containing field validations is rendered from an Action, then the request's contents will trigger messagesPresent be true thus displaying the "Validation Errors" section inappropriately. How can I resolve this? Thanks. - Chris
