this seems quite strange to me, unless you are doing something with the cache?
normally when I hit the back button, the page is not refreshed and just shows as it previously showed the last time I was at the page. According to what you are saying, you are getting the old ActionErrors() object, with the new form bean properties. I haven't done any significant testing with validation and input fields, but this is definitely not the behaviour I would expect. One thing that strikes me now (I may figure it out later) is how ActionErrors gets reset. It should belong to the request and get automatically cleaned up. If no one answers, than I will have to try this out on my own I guess. - sandeep --- Rob Breeds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > I have a simple input form, an ActionForm, and > validating set to true. > > In the validate() method of ActionForm I check the > length of the input > field (say max 5 chars) and if too long populate the > errors collection. > > The error message correctly displays if I enter a > name longer than 5 chars. > > If I then enter a valid length name, I get the > forwarded page saying > Success - so far so good. > > But if I now click the browser BACK button I get the > input form displayed > (correct), with the input field containing the > correct length input value > (correct) but with the error message saying name too > long, which is wrong. > > I have a reset() method in my ActionForm setting the > name value to null but > this has no effect. > > Any ideas please on how to prevent the error > message(s) displaying when the > page is displayed after hitting back button? > > Thank you > > Rob Breeds > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
