Hi Keith, Ta for the response. The reason I'm having to put the ActionErrors object onto the session is because the site I'm developing is using frames. Basically, we have an input search window and a results window below it. The only way I've been able to make this work is by putting the search form, results form (if any) and errors (again, if any) onto the session when the search is submitted. My action class then forwards back to the parent window of the two frames and the jsp for the search and results/errors drag the data from the session to rebuild the windows.
This was all working fine without putting errors onto the session when I could use the meta-equiv tag "Window-target" to target the output jsp (containing either errors or a set of results) to the results window. Unfortunately this only seems to work within Netscape and not Mozilla or IE.... What I've done at present is clone the html:errors tag (and associated class) to create an identical one which checks session scope rather than request scope. It's nearly working (isn't that always the way!!) - unfortunately I'm getting some null values coming out around the errors which I don't yet understand - see below: null * Please pick an arrival city you muppet * Please enter a fare * Please pick a departure city null If I can sort this out (must be coming from the tag class somewhere) then I think that may solve my problem. However, if anyone knows a cleaner way of doing this (without hacking the struts taglibs) then please let me know!! regards, steve __________________________________ Steve Earl InfoGain Limited -----Original Message----- From: Keith Bacon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 11:37 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: ActionErrors Hi Steve, For the ActionErrors collection, get() returns an iterator which will return ActionError objects, not sure but hopefully their toString() will give the message you want. yuk! Much better to use <html:errors> tag to display them! I see the 'errors' tag only gets the collection from the request. Hava you got a good reason for having the errors in the session?
