Thats what I thought myself, although it would be nice to be able to configure this independently within the xml configuration.
Maybe a stupid question but is it possible to call the specifc XML configuration from within the action? -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Ed Griebel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: dinsdag 14 november 2006 15:20 Aan: Struts Users Mailing List Onderwerp: Re: Validation + multiple Submit buttons You could turn off automatic validation in struts-config.xml and call it manually in the action method when you need validation. If you are using a recent version of Struts you can use LookupDispatchAction that will call a given method based on which button was pressed. http://struts.apache.org/1.2.7/api/org/apache/struts/actions/LookupDispatchAction.html HTH, -ed On 11/14/06, Andrew Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > JS Free, clunky UI .... you don't have to tell us!
