findForward and Errors

[Shawn Sohl]

In my Action class I catch errors if they occur.  What I want to know is can
I create an "ActionErrors" object within my Action class and add an error to
it like I do in a Form class.  Basically what I want to do is shown in the
code below.  My .jsp page that "failure" points to has the "<html:errors/>"
tag within it but it isnt picking up the error.  I know I can create and set
an attribute within the response object and pass the error that way but I
thought I could use something like I'm trying to do below.

 catch(Exception e)
                {
                ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
                    errors.add("error",new ActionError(e.getMessage());
                    return mapping.findForward("failure");
                }

Thanks
