Thanks Nagendra.... But on the JSP page I want to show both the errors as well as the data ( form bean variable which are populated in the performAction() method of action class. ) i.e. in validate method if email address is invalid then I am adding the errors and forwarding to JSP page, this page will show the errors only but not the formbean values as it has not gone into the performAction(). So I need to show the errors also and the data also from database. This data is not used for validating the email address but it is used for showing some suggested email addresses. Please reply Pankaj

If the email address is invalid I am adding the errors. Struts Config entries: <action path="/emailcreation" type="com.onstar.myonstar.process.web.controller.EmailCreationAction" name="emailCreationForm" validate="true" scope="request" input="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp"> <forward name="emailcreation_page" path="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp" redirect="false"/> </action> OR <action path="/emailcreation" type="com.onstar.myonstar.process.web.controller.EmailCreationAction" name="emailCreationForm" validate="true" scope="request" input="/emailcreation.mo"> <forward name="emailcreation_page" path="/jsp/virtualadvisor/emailcreation/va_pr_emailsetup_main.jsp" redirect="false"/> </action> Second one is going into the loop and first one is not getting the values from database as the request is going to JSP not to action class i.e the formbean values are not populate. How can I overcome this problem.
