If you have an attribute on your form 'org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL' the validation will not run.
You will, however, need to find out which button (or link) the user pressed (Back or Cancel) using some other mechanism: isCancelled(httpServletRequest) simply tests the existence of this attribute.

I have a question regarding validation. I have a form and validation rules that apply to this form. In my JSP, I have three buttons, namely CANCEL, SUBMIT, BACK (BACK meaning: I will come back later). My problem now is: I want to validate the fields of my form, but this validation should only occur if I press the SUBMIT button. It must not occur on CANCEL or BACK (since it does not make too much sense to force the user to give his address information before returning to the original place he came from). Is there a declarative way to skip the validation for the BACK button, or would I really have to write my own validate() method. Any help is really appreciated.
