Hi,

I had the same problem, and added in my struts.xml :

<interceptor-ref name="validation">
            <param name="excludeMethods">execute,
input,back,cancel,browse, detail, delete, goAdd, goModif, view</param>
          </interceptor-ref>
          <interceptor-ref name="workflow">
            <param name="excludeMethods">
execute,input,back,cancel,browse, detail, delete, goAdd, goModif, view</
param>
          </interceptor-ref>

So add the name of your first method in the excludeMethods, and the
validation will not occures.

Preventing validation when form is first displayed






Hi, I have an action that is validateable and uses the validate method to
ensure that an element isn't added to the database if it already exists in
there. Unfortunately, the validation occurs as soon as my form is
launched. I tried to follow the approach from the helloworld example to
not have this happen, but it doesn't work. I would rather avoid using
annotations for maintainability reasons. Would someone give me directions
to how to stop validation from occurring when the form is launched.

Thanks,
