Hi Alan, Here are the basics: public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ActionErrors errors; ActionError error; //create the errors errors = new ActionErrors(); ... do your validation, and if error //create the error error = new ActionError("error.resource.key"); //add it to the errors (global or form field name based) this uses global errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, error); ...perform rest of method if (errors.isEmpty() == false) { //save the error saveErrors(request, errors); //go back to same page return mapping.getInputForward(); } // Forward control to the specified success URI return (mapping.findForward("success")); } Hope this helps.

My Action class does some processing that involves going to the database. This work could throw a SQLException and I want that to generate an error message for the user. However I don't want to do this work in the validate method, only to have to do it again in the execute method (besides SQLExceptions can be non-determinate so this wouldn't solve the problem anyway). So, my question is how can I add an ActionErrors object to my form from within the execute method so I can send the user back to their requesting page with an intelligent and well formatted message?
