Paul Benedict commented on WW-4071:
-----------------------------------
I second this feature, except the callback method should return a String so the
developer can choose their own forward.
I actually wanted this feature for a bit but was too lazy to submit it :-) My
use case, however, is a bit different. I have several Actions that support AJAX
and I want validation error to trigger an HTTP 400 (Bad Request). With this
sort of call back, I can easily set the status code and return null.
> ValidationAware add callable method, called from DefaultWorkflowInterceptor

> Key: WW-4071
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4071
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core Interceptors
> Affects Versions: 2.3.14
> Reporter: Eric Lentz
> Priority: Minor
>
> When a form error occurs, the action is unaware of this event. There are
> situations whereby one should know that a form error has occurred. For
> example, one may wish to populate the ActionStack with special handling
> variables or set a flag denoting special logic that the JSP should handle. In
> short, it isn't unreasonable for one to want to know that a form error
> occurred and be able to respond to it with more than just a single JSP result
> attached to "input."
> My suggestion would be within ValidationAware, add a method:
> void actionError()
> Within DefaultWorkflowInterceptor.doIntercept, there is already an if
> condition of:
> if (validationAwareAction.hasErrors()) {
> at the end of processing that if block, just before, "return resultName;"
> call validationAwareAction.actionError();
> By the way, this line:
> LOG.debug("Errors on action " + validationAwareAction + ", returning result
> name 'input'");
> should be:
> LOG.debug("Errors on action " + validationAwareAction + ", returning result
> name '" + inputResultName + "'");
