DispatchActions - using form validation for only some methods

[Paul McCulloch <pa...@axiossystems.com>]

Hi,

I've just moved to using dispatch actions from my own implementation of
something similair to relay actions. One facility my implementation gave me
was to have the form validated when some actions were called, and not
validated for other actions (at the expense of a bloated struts-config.xml).

Using dispatch actions I am now explicitly calling the form's validation for
those methods that require a validated form:

        ActionErrors errors = form.validate(mapping, request);
         if(!errors.isEmpty()) {
             saveErrors(request, errors);
             return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput());
        }

Is there a better way of achieving this?

thanks,

Paul
