Hi, I only want to forward if validation fails -- i.e. don't need to run the "execute" method. But I don't know how to set that up in my struts-config.xml file (or some other file if that's what's needed). How do I do that?
Or is the only way to do this is as David Newton suggested -- moving validation into my execute method and forwarding appropriately. Thanks, - Dave Burton Rhodes wrote: > > Exactly.
