Hi,
You may get the reference from the Cancel Button in CancelTag.
The Tag will set a parameter in the request to block the validation in the
servlet.
Good Luck
Cliff

Subject: HOw to avoid validations for certain submit buttons on a single
form?
Hi all,
I have a jsp called Plan.jsp. The name of the ActionForm is
PlanActionForm.
There is a action class called PlanAction.java. From this
PlanAction.java it is forwarding to Plan.jsp.
In the Plan.jsp there are 2 buttons and one text field.
Text field name is txtboxTitle and the 2 buttons are "Add New Service
Level" and "Inactivate Plan". Both are buttons of type submit.
When I am clicking "Add New Service Level", the PlanActionForm is being
submitted to PlanAction.java. But when I am clicking the "Inactivate"
button the same form is submitted to InactivatePlanAction.java.
InactivatePlanAction.java is like this
public class InactivatePlanAction extends ValidationAction {
public InactivatePlanAction() {
super();
super.setFormBean(new PlanActionForm());
super.setFormName("PlanActionForm");
}
protected void doCustomValidation(ActionForm form, SessionState
state) {
PlanActionForm planForm = (PlanActionForm) form;
super.addError("Error happened");
}
protected ActionForward doExecute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm
form, SessionState state) {
PlanActionForm planForm = (PlanActionForm) form;
String forwardTo = "success";
return mapping.findForward(forwardTo);
}
}
The validator-rules.xml will look like this.
<form name="PlanActionForm">
<field property="txtboxTitle" depends="maxlength">
<msg name="maxlength" key="errors.offers.maxlength"/>
<arg1 name="maxlength" key="${var:maxlength}"
resource="false"/>
<var>
<var-name>maxlength</var-name>
<var-value>64</var-value>
</var>
</field>
</form>
Struts-config.xml will look like this
<form-bean
name="PlanActionForm"
type="actionform.PlanActionForm"/>
<action
path=" /InactivatePlanAction"
type=" action.InactivatePlanAction"
scope="request"
name="PlanActionForm" >
<forward name="success" path /Plan.jsp"/>
<forward name="ValidationError" path="/Plan.jsp" />
</action>
Here there is a text field validation for maximum length.
What I want is that when I am clicking the Inactivate button, it should
not do any form validations that is given in the validator-rules.xml. It
should directly go to the InactivatePlanAction.java and display the
error message "Error happened".
But when I am clicking the "Add New Service Level" button the form has
to be validated according to that given in the validator-rules.xml.
Now what is happening is when I am clicking the Inactivate button, it is
doing the form validations too.
Does any body have any idea how to do it?
I think one solution is to put Inactivate in another ActionForm.
But can I achieve the result in a single Actionform.
Regards,
Krishna Mohan
