Re: MappingDispatchAction usage

[Jeff Beal <jb...@gmail.com>]

You can turn off the framework's validation, and specifically call
validate in the methods where you want it.

/** Java code off the top of my head; may not compile
public ActionForward create(mapping,form,request,response) {
  ActionErrors validations = form.validate();
  if (validations != null && validations.size() > 0) {
    saveErrors(validations);
    return mapping.getInputForward();
  }
  // continue
}
