You could turn off automatic validation in struts-config.xml and call it manually in the action method when you need validation.
If you are using a recent version of Struts you can use LookupDispatchAction that will call a given method based on which button was pressed. http://struts.apache.org/1.2.7/api/org/apache/struts/actions/LookupDispatchAction.html HTH, -ed On 11/14/06, Andrew Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
JS Free, clunky UI .... you don't have to tell us! But those are the restrictions we are working on. It basically means additional actions/forms/JSP's when we want to do anything of consequence. Usability is a big issue, but we can't do anyting about it. I don't think wrapping (nested) forms will actually work. certain form buttons are located in the middle of the 'main' form as they cater for a select option to another page. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Lance Semmens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: dinsdag 14 november 2006 14:54 Aan: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Onderwerp: RE: Validation + multiple Submit buttons A JS free application? You can assume today's browsers have javascript, the web would break otherwise. Sure there are some cross platform issues but to go JS free is a tall order and will limit you to a clunky UI. If JS free is your direction, you could wrap your back button in a <html:form> that posts to a different action to your save.

I have however a problem when I have more than one submit button on a form. For example I have a Save button and a Back button. The Back button is also a submit (instead of a standard button - basically because we are creating a JS free applciation!) Within the struts configuration the validate is set to true for this action with an input page defined. The validation is set to check certain fields are not empty. As both buttons call the same action the validation is called on both, but I do not want validation to occur on certain submit actions (namely the Back button) Ideally I would like to configure this in the XML Struts-config.xml or validation.xml but I am not sure if this is actually possible (I fear the worst) If anyone has any tips, much appreciated.
