No, it requires an HTTP request to the URL that's mapped to the action. Typically http://www.example.com/myapp/something.do That could be a click on a button, or just typing the URL into a browser, or clicking on an <a href=...> link. That HTTP request makes the Action code run. Depending on what's in the request (almost nothing, in the case of the initial request,) it either does some setup work or processes the submitted data, and determines what response to send. There are ways to skip validation on the first request, so you don't show the form with a bunch of errors. You can check to see if the form was POSTed to you, or else look for the presence of a hidden field on the form, which won't be there unless it was POSTed. -- Wendy Smoak --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
