Hi, I need to implement an use case where the data needs to be saved in DB, even though all the submitted form fields aren't valid. The rule is to make those fields empty and insert whatever is good into the DB (there are few non-nillable fields that need to be valid as a prerequisite). I don't want to throw away all the validation.xml that's been done and resort to manual validation for this. So, i'm planning to call validate() within the Action ; check for fielderrors ; make a copy of the entity object - null out every field that has an error associated with it, and send this entity to the biz layer, and redirect to INPUT page which will show the form with the original values populated. I haven't gone into details of implementing the fielderrors check, but think it's doable. Just wanted to check if there are any suggestions/best practices for doing this.
Thanks, Joseph
