Form Validation Before Submit
Hello,
I have a simple form in my application which I am having trouble with.
On entering the action class and forwarding to the JSP I see error messages
which should only appear when the form has been validated after submitting.
I cannot figure out why this is appearing as all that is called inside the
action class is a mapping.findForward() to the page in question. Can anybody
suggest any possible reasons as to why I am seeing the form error messages
before submitting.
Thanks,
CH

This is not the case with my struts config, I have other forms which are
much more complex which work fine in the app yet this much simpler one
attempts to validate before any data is even entered yet I cannot figure it
out.

In your struts-config.xml, if you have the validate="true" set. Then,
the validate method of your form will be
called before your action.execute method is called.

do you check that the form "is beeing submitted" ?
struts calls first the validate method even if the form hasn't been submited
(initialisation)
You have to return null in the validate method if not in "submit" mode.
