override the validate method with your own code to check if the action is the one that you want to invoke the validate for and do validation only in those cases. Alternately, create a new dispatch action for the methods you want validated and for those you do not want validation and call the 2 seperately.

I can use test.do?op=pre_insert to show a jsp page with a form and if it is submitted, the test.do?op=insert will be execute,the validate() method will be invoked ,then the data in the form will be inserted into the database.If I execute the insert and update methods , the validate() method will be invoked,I wish when I execute the other methods , the validate() won't be invoke, how to ? thanks! --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? 150万曲MP3疯狂搜，带您闯入音乐殿堂 美女明星应有尽有，搜遍美图、艳图和酷图 1G就是1000兆，雅虎电邮自助扩容！ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
