Tiles validates ActionForm (second try)
Hi!
I didn't get any answer to my question on this topic so I'll try again.
I have an ActionForm in a page that is a part of a Tiles-definition. The problem is that the form is validated before the user have sent the form. If there are any not null checks they will present the user with errormessages that should not be presented to the user until she/he fails to fill out the form correctly and submit.
I have tried the form without tiles and it worked perfectly.
Is this a know error in Struts 1.1b2 and is there a way around this problem?
Thanks in advance
Roland Carlsson

Ok, it helps a lot since it points out the way for me and removes my
missunderstandings.
Thanks

RE: Tiles validates ActionForm (second try)

Well, I'm not familiar with 'Devins Richards answer'.
The most basic type of form submittal uses 2 actions, 1 action form, and 1
jsp.
Now, keep in mind that you could have more than this depending on what you
are doing, but here's the basic flow:
#1 #2 #3
/setupMyFormAction -> formEntry.jsp -> /processMyFormAction
How you do this is all in how you setup the struts-config.
You could have one action class that handles both of these actions or use
separate classes.
Either way, you will want to set validate="false" on the way in (#1), and
validate="true" on the way out (#3).
Hope that helps

I sure can. I post them below. Is Devins Richards answer the way to go and
have one form that does not validate that submits to one that validates?
Thanks in advance

Hi Roland,
Could you provide a few more details about your tiles definitions and action
mappings?
