Re: how to detect which form is being posted ?

[Keith Bacon <ke...@yahoo.com>]

Here it is - this is my way - a design pattern copied
from non-strus programs.

==========================
in your jsp
<html:hidden property="formName"
value="Form-EditUser"/>
===========================
in your action class
	EditUserForm thisForm = (EditUserForm) form;
	String formName = thisForm.getFormName();

	if (formName == null ||
!formName.equals("Form-EditUser")) {
		// Came from forward from another form
                // Display default form.
        } else { 
             // came from our form validate it.
        }
=====================
