Yes, but I actually do want to use the validation. Is there a way to make struts forward back to an action (instead of just the jsp page) when validation issues are detected? That way, at least I can make the action reload the page scope data that should be there. And, as long as the form reset is not called, their posted data should still be there as well I would think.
Or, another thing that would work for me is if I can have struts not call the form's validate method, but still be able to call it manually from within my action. Anybody know how to do either of these? gary.
