I have made a modification below that should fix your problem. The action
node has an attribute called "validate". The default value is true. Set it
to false to turn validation off. Also, make another action definition for
your alternate flow (form submission).
Good Luck! Struts and Tiles ROCK!

Subject: [MVC-Programmers] Struts and Tiles
We are currently investigating using both Struts and Tiles.
The struts-config is as follows:
<form-bean name="portfolioNameSearch"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="nametype" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="surname" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="firstname" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="dob" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="postcode" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
<action path="/portfolio/namesearch"
type="au.com.zurich.adviser.portfolio.action.NameSearch"
name="portfolioNameSearch"
scope="session"
input="nameSearch">
<forward name="success" path="nameSearch"/>
</action>
where nameSearch is a tiles definition
If we call the URL host/app/portfolio/namesearch.do the form (generated by
tiles) is validated initially (which we don't want).
If we were to use JSP instead of tiles this can be avoided by initially
calling the jsp directly.
It is possible to use host/app/portfolio/namesearch.do without validating
initially.
Any thoughts, thanx in advance..Paul
