Even my code is working with 2 action mappings, but I have 15 JSP pages so I will have to have 30 action mappings which is worrying me.

I also used your method to check whether to validate, in situations where I had a list of records where some could be edited and some could be deleted. When deleting, I wanted to inhibit validation.
