Assuming you've turned off the automatic validation (validate="false" in
struts-config.xml), then you can programmatically determine which button was
pressed in your execute() method, via request.getParameter("btn_cancel") for
example, then decide not to call something.
public ActionForward execute (...) {
if ( request.getParameter("btn_cancel") == null ) {
// didn't press [Cancel]
ActionMessages errors = form.validate(mapping,request);
if ( ! errors.isEmpty() ) {
saveErrors(request, errors);
...
Also, if using javascript, you can turn-off validation when the cancel button
is pressed by setting bCancel=true (I think).
Good luck.
