1. The cancel-button still validates. The isCancelled() method does not seem to
work. I call it in the method executeAction of this screen.
How can I pre-empt the validation?
Are you using the html tag to create the cancel button. The button needs to be set to a magic value to work, which the tags spits out for you.
2.
When I modify information in the master part adn I what to a detail-screen,
then I want the master part to be commited first, before I go to this
detailscreen. The links to these items are set up using the format:
href="./orderitem.do?id=num where num is the actual unique code in the
database of this item..
Of course leaving the page using href, will not commit the master part. My
question is: How can I make it happen? (commit the master first and then go
the detail).
I try very hard to avoid this page design myself, for the reason stated. Typically, I will show the master and child in a view format, and then let them edit the master or a child. Whenever possible, I avoid putting any link tags on the same screen as an edit dialog, since it encourages people to link off without submitting their change. :(
If you must display the form this way, the only recourse is to change the links so that they also submit the form, either through JavaScript or by making the links buttons. The Action can then save any changes to the form, and then forward on to the other detail page.
HTH, Ted.
