I don't have sample code but are you looking for something like this:
// in Action execute... ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); // add errors... ... // set in request request.setAttribute("org.apache.struts.action.ERROR", errors); // forward to same page...
When executing validation in an Action, you should use the Action method "saveErrors" rather than directly manipulating the request attributes; this guarantees that the errors will be placed in the same place that other code is looking for them.
Here's the response I was drafting when this came in:
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception
{
ActionMessages errors = processBusinessValidation(...);
if (!errors.isEmpty())
{
saveErrors(request,errors);
return mapping.getInputForward();
}
// normal business logic
return mapping.findForward(...);
}
private ActionMessages processBusinessValidation(...)
{
ActionMessages errors = new ActionMessages();
// execute validation, populate errors if necessaryreturn errors; }
