- resending: hope this doesn't end up as a duplicate -
Another option would be to call the validate() method yourself and return the
appropriate <forward>.
add "validate=false" to your mapping, plus your forms as forwards so you can
still configure them in your struts-config:
<action path="/clientaction"
type="ie.sentenial.application.actions.ClientAction"
name="clientForm"
scope="request"
validate="false"
attribute="clientForm" >
<forward name="addForm" path="/pages/addClient.jsp"/>
<forward name="updateForm" path="/pages/updateClient.jsp"/>
</action>
- this way, the RequestProcessor won't call validate().
in your action, before you proceed, you can do something similar to:
public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
ActionErrors errors = form.validate(mapping, request);
if ((errors != null) && (!errors.isEmpty())) {
request.setAttribute(Globals.ERROR_KEY, errors);
if ("update".equals(request.getParameter("action"))) {
return mapping.findForward("updateForm");
} else {
return mapping.findForward("addForm");
}
}
// ...
}
