How were you able to access the "Collection" object containing the error
messages
from your extension?

Subject: Re: Error messages
Had to do similar stuff in the prototype I'm working on. We have error
icons that the users want displayed beside input fields that had validation
failures. So, the direction I leaned towards was a conditional tag if a
specific error is present. I could not find a tag provided with Struts
that let me do that, so I wrote one. There may have been a way to do it
with existing Struts logic tags.
example:
<extensions:errorPresent property="zipCode">
<td><img src="img/error.gif" alt="Error! Please fix zip
code"></td>
</extensions:errorPresent>
The tag code is similar to Struts ErrorTag. It would have been best to
inherit my tag class straight from Strut's error tag, but it didn't look
like it was factored in such a way as to make that possible (I believe the
code that looked for errors and assembled them into a collection was mixed
in the same method with the code that outputs the error text).
This is not a good final solution obviously, but it seems like some kind of
conditional error-presence-based-on-property tag is a good general approach
for this kind of problem.

Please
respond to
struts-user
Using ActionError and the html:ErrorTag I am able to display errors on the
page & also format the error messages using errorheader and
errorfooter.
Is there any way ( Tag or otherwise ) to highlight the field ( field label
&
the field itself) that the error refers to? e.g Displaying the label
and the textbox/checkbox in red.
Thanks
