struts newbie validate doubts

[acastanheira2001]

Hi,

I have to server-side validate user input data in a production system.

Here are some code snippets:

struts-config.xml

<action-mappings>

<action path="/xxx/yyy"
type="MyClassAction"
validate="false"
parameter="method"
scope="request"
name="MyForm">


<forward name="MyMethod"
redirect="false"
path="MyTilesInput"/>

<forward name="SecondMethod"
redirect="false"
path="MyTilesListResults"/>
____

As far as I know, when the user clicks

http://localhost:8080/xxx/yyy.do?method=MyMethod

It forwards to MyTilesInput.
MyTilesInput form has the user input fields that I need to validate, but this jsp code has the same action xxx/yyy.do. When the user submits, it becomes

http://localhost:8080/xxx/yyy.do?method=SecondMethod.

If I put validate = "true" and a input tag, it does the validate when the form MyTilesInput loads, but I need to validate after the user input.

Am I clear?
