Thanks Ted. Let us suppose for a moment there are no parameters passed with the URL. Is there an S2 pulley or chain I can tug on to bypass the validation? Maybe this is not a case where I should be using a S2 tag? It strikes me as odd that a hyperlink not related to the form would be intercepted by the form validator. I recently discovered the Java annotation @SkipValidation and now wonder if there might be an attribute, flag, switch, bit of XML, or interceptor stack I could massage to avoid this unwanted feature.
You know, this extreme flexibility reminds me of a Dilbert I saw a few years back illustrating the boneless chicken ranch. Seriously, S2 seems to offer an unbounded combination of techniques for about anything you need to do. Granted, I think a framework should be flexible, but as I read these threads, I am more confused about the most recent "best S2 technique" I used yesterday!

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.
