Should it be an empty method? My current validate() method (without using Struts Validator) is as follows:(What should it be if I implement validations in validator-rules.xml and validations.xml)? Pl. suggest. public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) { // maintenance forms do new, update and delete, but also searches and create new for // fkey resolvers.
