A hyperlink is a get, and if coded correctly a get shouldn't have side effects, and so at first blush validation might seem redundant. Although, the struts controller doesn't distinguish between get and post. If there is a validator associated with the course action, then it would be called regardless of whether the request is coded as a hyperlink or form. I note that the link takes a parameter, and if the parameter is required to consummate the get, then validation would seem appropriate.

Should the Action class validator be getting called when a hyperlink is clicked? This is the behavior I am experiencing. My hyperlink is coded as follows: <s:url id="url" action="course!remove"> <s:param name="course.id"> <s:property value="id" /> </s:param> </s:url> The hyperlink is outside the form tags! -- Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED]
