While the "if" loops in the validate function of the form will work... i somehow think you are coupling the workflow with the validation rules. Why dont you look at the validation framework so that you "externalize" your validation logic into xml files?
You can perform validation on a per form basis and also on a per action basis in the validator framework. The second case may be useful to you. ~raghu On 12/5/05, Sun Shine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thank you! > > --- David Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > A few ideas that may get you started: > > > > you can use different names for the submit or image > > tags that you are > > using to submit the forms, and set up an if, else if > > structure in your > > validate method to see which page has submitted to > > the actionForm based > > on the parameters input. or use hidden tags to do > > the same thing. or use > > the HttpServletRequest's getPathInfo(). > > > > dave > > > > On Sun, 2005-12-04 at 15:19 -0800, Sun Shine wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > In my application, I'm using one ActionForm Bean > > for > > > several pages.
