What kind of form are you using? I'm implementing a validatorform, and I
use the following hack to allow the same action to populate the form
before validation. This code is put in my implementation of the validate
method:
if (request.getMethod().equals("POST")) {
ActionErrors errors = super.validate(mapping, request);
return errors;
} else {
return null;
}
This code only triggers validation when there is a POST in progress.
Hope this helps.
