[Fwd: Having problems with Struts validation framework]
Hello folks,
I found a little issue with the action that's being called.
Please dis-regard my previous mail reporting this issue.
Its resolved now.
However, I have another related issue.
My loyaltyPAge.jsp has two buttons - Exit and continue.
I want the validation to occur only when "Continue" is clicked upon.
But because there's one form in the LoyaltyPage.jsp having these two
buttons, they both get evaluated using one actionMapping (which has the
validate=true).
Is there some facility provided by the Struts framework to
SKIP the validation when a specific button (Exit) is clicked
and ONLY OCCUR when another button(*Continue) is clicked . ???
A corollary question to this would be,
Is it possible for one JSP to have two buttons in one form,
and each button calling a different Action.
Currently as I know, the action gets called based on the
<html:form action=""> setting.
Any help would be much appreciated,
regards,
robin.

More simply, you can use the <html:cancel> tag to generate your cancel
button.
For your second question, no, there's no way for different buttons to
invoke different actions (at least, not without some hokey Javascript
hackery), but you can have different buttons call different methods on
the *same* action, using one of the various dispatch actions that come
with Struts.

Robin,
All you have to do is set the name of your button to Globals.CANCEL_NAME
(not that exact text, but use that constant to set the "name" attribute
of that submit button element).
