I want to create a form that has two different actions. The user will have
a button to “READ” information in from the database and a button to “SAVE”
information into the database after modification. I currently use Validator
to validate my forms and when the user clicks on the “READ” button then
Validator takes over and gives the user errors. I don’t want the form to be
validated when the user is attempting a “READ”. I only want the form to be
validated if the user is attempting to do a “SAVE”. Unless anyone has a
better solution (which I hope someone does), I have decided that I need to
create two action classes. One that will handle the read logic without
going through validation and one that will handle the save logic and go
through the validation. My question with this solution is how do I
elegantly provide this functionality on the jsp? Do I put the “SAVE” submit
button within one form and the “READ” submit button within another form and
have different actions associated with each form? Or, is there a better
way?
Thanks,
