Brian,
Now that the messages are working, one other thing you might want to check is
whether your validator-based validation errors are really being captured. The
first few lines of your validate method look like they just ignore the result of
calling super.validate:
public ActionErrors validate( ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request ) {
// this should call the validate on the automatic stuff
super.validate( mapping, request );
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors( );
...
return errors;
}
You probably want something more like:
public ActionErrors validate( ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request ) {
// this should call the validate on the automatic stuff
ActionErrors errors = super.validate( mapping, request );
if (errors == null) {
errors = new ActionErrors( );
}
...
return errors;
}
