I have a question that I always thought of for such situations. It is adviesd to have 2 action mappings as Bill suggests for such situations, one that sets up the form with validate=false And the next that handles the form POST. Why is that?. In my ActionForm I look for a condition which tells me if the form was posted or not thereby avoiding two mappings. But the question still remains.
