I sounds like you need to do three things:
1) Struts-config.xml add an input
<action-mappings>
<action
name="StrutsTestForm"
path="/StrutsTest"
type="web.StrutsTestAction"
input="/StrutsTest.jsp"
attribute="StrutsTestForm" >
<forward name="success" path="/StrutsTest.jsp" />
</action>
Input is the path to return to on errors
2) In the JSP add the error tag <html:errors/>
3) In either the Form.Validate() method or the action Validate method create the
ActionErrors
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
{
// Check for empties or invalids here
boolean noErrors = true;
ActionErrors ae = null;
// Soething bad detected here
if ( ae == null )
{
ae = new ActionErrors();
noErrors = false;
}
ae.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError("some property from your
resource") );
}
if ( noErrors )
{
return null; // No Errors found
}
return ae;
}
