What's the name of your "Cancel" button? Struts should not validate
if it finds org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL or
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL.x
Take a look at the RequestProcessor.processValidate() code:
if (request.getAttribute(Globals.CANCEL_KEY) != null) {
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
log.debug(" Cancelled transaction, skipping validation");
}
return (true);
}
That attribute gets set in RequestProcessor.processPopulate():
// Set the cancellation request attribute if appropriate
if ((request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY) != null) ||
(request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY_X) != null)) {
request.setAttribute(Globals.CANCEL_KEY, Boolean.TRUE);
}
