Just for the record, I have contrived a particularly nasty work-around for this problem and share it in case anyone ever ends up as desperate as me!
To recap, I have 3 buttons on a form including a cancel button for which there should be no validation.
Because I have implemented a LookupDispatchAction class to handle these buttons, I cannot just use the <html:cancel> tag 'as is' because I get the following exception (my method param is called 'method'):
javax.servlet.ServletException: Request[/createContact] does not contain handler parameter named method
If you include property="method" with the <html:cancel> tag, you lose the exception but validation still takes place.
So what I have done (if you will excuse the fish-heads) is:
Use a standard html hidden tag (the <html:hidden> struts tag moans about not having getter for the property x) with a dummy name:
<input type=hidden name="x" />
Have your cancel button call some JavaScript:
<html:cancel property="method" onclick="return sendCancel()"><bean:message key="button.cancel"/></html:cancel>
and the JavaScript is:
function sendCancel()
{
document.forms[0].elements[0].name="org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL"
return true;
}I have tried all the other suggestions in every combination but can't get anything more elegant to work. This works but I'm not looking forward to the code review!
Regards, Andy
