Personally, I would try to use the same page for add, update and delete, which would solve this problem. If this is not an option for you, you may have to deal with it in ClientAction.
Remove the input attribute from your action mapping, add validate="false", and add a couple of forward elements. <action path="/clientaction" type="ie.sentenial.application.actions.ClientAction" name="clientForm" scope="request" validate="false" attribute="clientForm" > <forward name="AddValidationError" path="/pages/addClient.jsp"/> <forward name="UpdateValidationError" path="/pages/updateClient.jsp"/> </action> Then inside ClientAction, programmatically call the validate() method, since the framework won't be calling it for us (validate="false"). If validation fails, return the appropriate ActionForward, based on whether you are adding or updating.

I am using the same action to perform two functions <action path="/clientaction" type="ie.sentenial.application.actions.ClientAction" name="clientForm" scope="request" input="/pages/addClient.jsp" attribute="clientForm" > </action> This is called as follows from 2 different forms: <html:form action="/clientaction?action=update" focus="clientName" onsubmit="return validateClientForm(this)"> and <html:form action="/clientaction?action=add" focus="clientName" onsubmit="return validateClientForm(this)"> The problem is that because I have input="/pages/addClient.jsp" ...that when a validation fails while doing an update it is directed back to the addClient.jsp rather than the updateClient.jsp As far as I know the input field will not take dynamic values. I am not sure how to resolve this problem. I need to be directed back to the correct page when validations fail Thanks Ciaran --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
