Subject: RE: ActionForm/Action with edit mode
I solved this one by creating an action that looked at the incoming bean,
and if it was null or contained no data (the user was viewing and hadnt
edited yet), then the action would populate the bean from a database and
pass back with no errors. If a hidden variable (I called it 'process') had
been set, then the action would validate the input, then store the new info
into the database.
Hope that helps,
--Joe
