MessageTo answer your specific question: Yes, it is ok to call setErrors and setErrormessages as you suggest ( I assume you would be doing this only when cancel was pressed). Another option would be to override the validate() method (not only doValidation) from ActionSupport and change it slightly to fit your needs. Otherwise I think it sounds as if cancel should be a separate action, if it was not for the gui/form problems. If you can use javascript you can use it to change the form action so that the correct action is called, depending on which button you pressed.

I'm on a form that has an update submit button and a cancel submit button. Some of the fields have validation, so the error map may be set. I'd still like the cancel button to bypass any errors and just go to the view I have outlined in the views.properties file. Is it OK to just call the superclass setErrors(null) and setErrorMessages(null) in the doValidation() method? That way I won't get field-level errors after hitting cancel, then have to hit cancel AGAIN to *really* cancel. I suppose I could put the cancel submit button in a separate form with a completely separate action class that doesn't do much, but my buttons are inside a table inside the form inside another table (which is pretty :) and I don't want to lose the look and feel. Thanks in advance for all my "newbie" WebWork questions. WebWork rocks!
