Hi Sashi,
Don't know if you've received any replies to this, but I initially handled it the same
as you, but ran into problems when I was going back to the servlet for drop-down
actions etc. I only wanted validation errors to appear when the user hit the save
button, so I ended up just checking for the save in the validation method as such:
//only validate form when a save has been pressed
try {if (request.getParameter("saveBtn.x").equals(null)) return null;}
catch (NullPointerException ex) {return null;}
I'm also interested in feed-back on my approach.

Subject: How to ignore validation when form loads (first time)
Hi
We have JSP pages which need user input. How can I display the form initially with out
validation and then when user enters data and submits the page, the validation has to
be done.
I tried to accomplish it by giving two <action> in Struts-Config.xml. as shown below
eg:
<action path="/AddRate" type="xxxx.AddRateAction" name="addRateForm"
input="AddRate.jsp" scope="request" validate="false" >
<forward name="success" path="AddRate.jsp"/>
</action>
<action path="/Rate" type="xxxx.AddRateAction" name="addRateForm" input="AddRate.jsp"
scope="request" validate="true" >
<forward name="success" path="AddRate.do?target=create"/>
</action>
Not sure if this the way to do. Can somebody tell me if there is a better way to
accomplish this.
Thanks
