Getting around Standard Controller Validation
I am having difficulty finding a good solution to the following problem:
I have an edit page for a standard object that uses a standard controller and a controller extension. The controller extension has the following method that I am intending to use in order to implement my custom page redirection logic when "cancel" action occurs on the page:
Problem is that when cancel2 action is invoked on the page, the standard controller validation display the error "Error: Name you must enter a value", and the page never gets to my custom cancel routine. What is the best way to get around this?
I also have other scenarios where standard controller validation prevents me from invoking various methods in the extension controller.

Code:
public PageReference cancel2(){ PageReference targetPage;
String loopbackUrl = System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('loopback');
if(loopbackUrl != null && loopbackUrl != ''){
targetPage = new PageReference(loopbackUrl);
targetPage.setRedirect(true);
return targetPage;
}
else{
return this.stdController.cancel();
}
}
Page
<apex:commandLink action="{!cancel2}" value="></apex:commandLink>

Please read the documentation for the immediate attribute on commandButton.

Thanks a lot. This exactly was I was looking for.
