avoid validation while deleting a record ?

hi ..

i am using a SimpleFormController for add,update,delete operations

i am using commons validator for validation..

edit and delete facility is there in the same form

now when user clicks delete button the fields are getting validated

how to avoid this ??
i need that option only for save and update but not for delete

thanx in advance

See if SimpleFormController.suppressValidation works for you.

Putting the delete button into a separate form should work, if this is possible for you.

i think i will use SimpleFormController.suppressValidation if that works

but can any one tell me how to call this to avoid validation based on a request parameter


thanx

here's how i usually do this, put this override method in your controller:

Code:

---

        protected void onBind(HttpServletRequest request, Object command)
                        throws Exception {
      //if the user clicks delete, don't validate
                if(request.getParameter("delete")!=null){
                        setValidateOnBinding(false);
                }
                else{
      //if add/update, validate the form
                        setValidateOnBinding(true);
                }
                super.onBind(request, command);
        }
