Action Not Being Called When Unchanged Form Submitted
Action Not Being Called When Unchanged Form Submitted
(OP)
I have a struts application that contains JSP pages with
Next, Previous, and Cancel buttons. My Next and Cancel buttons work great. However, I cannot get the Previous button to invoke the action mapping if NO changes have been typed onto the form. There are actually 2 forms on the page. The first form (not seen below) is included in a header.inc....
Here's a snippet of the JSP:
<form name="Step3Form" method="post" action="/awardBuild/EditAwardDataStep3.do">
<table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td width="600" height="2" colspan="4"><img src="images/horizontalbar.gif"/></td>
</tr>
<html:submit styleClass="button" property="<%=Constants.COMMAND%>" value="<%=Constants.EDIT_STEP3%>" ></html:submit>
<html:submit styleClass="button" property="<%=Constants.COMMAND%>" value="<%=Constants.PREVIOUS%>" onclick="document.forms[1].submit();"></html:submit>
<html:cancel styleClass="button"></html:cancel >
I can intercept and trace the EDIT_STEP3 and CANCEL. The previous just re-displays the current JSP, while I need it to invoke the action to determine the next screen to display based on the mapping path. Validator is OFF for this JSP.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

RE: Action Not Being Called When Unchanged Form Submitted
Does your action differentiate between the two correctly?
Your "previous" button submits forms[1] in the onclick event. Is the html:submit tag for that button inside of forms[1]? It's possible that the wrong form is being submitted.
Try making the "previous" button a "<html:button" tag instead of "<html:submit" and use the onclick event to process the action.
