How to turn off validation momentarily

[Tom Miller <tm...@lisco.com>]

Hello

Is there a way to turn off form validation momentarily, say for just one
action.perform() invocation? I've tried placing a
mapping.setValidation(false) in various places in my "edit" and "save"
actions (a la struts-example). Basically, I do not want to validate a
record that I'm presenting to the user in order to confirm a delete, but
the form is set up for validation, so that gets executed too. But we're
deleting, so why bother?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

In struts-config you can specify that validation won't occur on a per-action
basis like this:

<action path="/someaction"
    type="com.whatever.SomeAction"
    scope="request"
    name="SomeForm"
    input="some.jsp"
    validate="false">
          <forward name="receipt"path="another.jsp" />
</action>

Does that help?
