Hi,
I haven't understood properly ur workflow, but I'll add my 2
cents since I have encountered similar problems...
Is this scenario feasible?
1 - b4 going to screen, u call the setup action which loads the data
2 - setup will redirect to the input page that will submit the form to
your concrete action
3 - if validation fails in your concrete action, you will be redirected
to the input page
in other words, your setup action will be called only when you enter
the page for the first time
is this acceptable?
Regards
marco

Subject: R: repost: validator & retrieving data
It seems a good solution, but compared to the hidden field:
1) I have to set up an <action> just to show the error. With
the hidden field I could use 2 <action> (instead of 3)
doing something like
if (hiddenpar.isSet()) {
leave form as is, we are here because validation failed
} else {
populate the form from db
}
2) I have to hardcode the paths of my actions inside my classes
(es: If(mapping.getPath().equals("abcdisplay")))
Or am I wrong?
Please reply...
(and thank you!)
