Yep! You're quite right. If you want to build descendant ActionForms extend base ActionForm class you will to iterate through ActionError and add each one individually. Doh! Or you can provide, for now, a special convenience method that adds to ActionErrors lists together and put that in the ActionForm base class. class BaseActionForm { public static ActionErrors addActionErrors( ActionErrors e1, ActionErrors e2 ); //DOH! } -- Peter Pilgrim ++44 (0)207-545-9923 //_\\ "Mathematics is essentially the study of islands of ======= disparate subjects in a sea of ignorance." || ! || Andrew Wiles _____________ ---------------------------------------- Message History ---------------------------------------- From: "Jonathan James" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 09/11/2001 15:01 CST --<CUT>-- Is there no way to add an ActionErrors object to another ActionErrors? I had several ActionForms that had common data so I factored it out into a separate ActionForm. The validate for the outside ActionForm calls the validate for the inner ActionForm like so: ActionErrors errors = contactInfo.validate( mapping, request ); Then proceeds to add other ActionError objects to errrors. Now I want to factor out some different data into another ActionForm and do the same thing. I would LIKE to be able to just do this: errors.add( otherInfo.validate( mapping, reqeust ); I guess I will extend ActionErrors and add a method to handle this. Has no one else run into this problem? Any other ideas for a workaround? -Jonathan -- This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
