When you call the saveErrors(...) method in the Action class' execute
method, Struts will store the ActionErrors object under the default request
attribute name "org.apache.struts.action.ERROR". In the JSP, when you add
the empty html:errors tag: <html:errors/>, Struts will look for this
attribute in the request and display the errors. There is generally no need
for you to save the errors under a different attribute name in the request
in your Action class or specify a "name" attribute in the html:errors tag.
You stated that you were saving the errors under the name "errors" in your
Action class but your earlier code snippet shows that you were just calling
saveErrors(...). Are you saving the errors yourself under a different
attribute name? If so, are you doing this in addition to or in place of
calling saveErrors()? It is not clear to me what your execute() method looks
like.
