Hi All,
I am facing one problem with Validation framework in struts.
I have 2 buttons (Back & Save) in my JSP page and i want to validate the page only when user modify the page and press the Save button.
If user didn't modify the page and press back button i don't want to validate the page. Is it any attribute thru which i can bypass the validation.

Thx in advance..

Hi Arun,

In the JSP Page,set a property to the two Buttons.
eg)
<html:submit name="Save" value="Save" propery="OperationID">
similarly for the Back Button,
<html:submit name="Back" value="Back" propery="OperationID">


Now in Your Action Form,declare the property Operation Id and generate Getter and Setter for that Property...

I think you are using the Validate method of the Form,
in that you check for the condition whether the operation id is "Back" or "save".

ie)
if(OperationId.equals("Save"))

{
//Perform ur Validations


}
else
{
//Don't perform any validations
}

What you want is for the Back button to be treated like a Cancel button. You do this in Velocity using the $form.cancelName (or $form.getCancelName()). In JSP its a constant in the Struts html taglib.. Here's the Velocity doc.

getCancelName
public java.lang.String getCancelName()Returns the query parameter name under which a cancel button press must be reported if form validation is to be skipped.

This is the value of org.apache.struts.taglib.html.Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY

Here's an example of its use
