Hi Greg. I am running Struts2; sorry I did not include that.
The button is not causing a redirect; tt is invoking the "execute" method in the action class, and then the action class determines that button was pressed, and then returns the string "list", which the struts.xml file then uses to redirect to another action class. Except that never happens because the validation is done first. ________________________________ From: Greg Lindholm <greg.lindh...@gmail.com> To: Struts Users Mailing List <user@struts.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 10:49:06 AM Subject: Re: How to prevent validations from running? Are you running Struts 1 or 2? How is your button causing a redirect?
