calling actionmapping from a URL

[Jan Fredrik Øveraasen <ja...@cellnetwork.no>]

Hi
I have a action class that is used in several actionmappings and in some
situations it is called directly
from a url, like "href=myaction.do", but in these cases the validation
implemented prevents me from continuing the process.
My question is: how can i turn off validation when calling a action class
from a URL.

thanks in advance

Jan Fredrik

The ActionMapping has a property for validation. To call the Action
without validation, set 

validate=false

in your ActionMapping. 

An Action is not a servlet, and you cannot call it directly from an URL.
In every case, the request is passed to the ActionServlet by the
container. The ActionServlet determines which Action to use by referring
to the ActionMappings. So in the example case, you must have mapping
named "myaction", or else it could not be called. You may wish to set
validate=false for that mapping, and leave it at true for the others.

If there is some other type of validation occuring in your Action, which
you put in yourself, you could check the mapping object passed to
perform() to see if validation should be used or not.

Is is simple - set validate attribute in action mapping to false:

    <action    path="/registration/register"
               name="registrationForm"
               input="/WEB-INF/jsp/registration.jsp"
               validate="true"
               type="com.rb.action.RegisterAction">
        <forward        name="confirm"          path="/WEB-INF/jsp/confirmRegister.jsp"/>
    </action>
