>From this and other messages I think you've got the wrong end of the stick regarding the <html:errors> tag. You can use either <html:errors> or <html:messages> with ActionMessage, its just down to personal preference. I've added a page comparing <html:errors> and <html:messages> here:
http://www.niallp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/HelpTagsErrorsAndMessages.html You can use either As for the validate method in your action form - then whether you use <html:errors> or <html:messages> the you can do something like the following... public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) { ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); if (<some conditon here>) { errors.add("myProperty", new ActionMessage("myProperty.error")); } return errors; } Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fergal O'Shea" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Riyaz Mansoor'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <user@struts.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 5:21 PM Subject: RE: Html:messages vs html:errors > > We don't seem to have struts-examples.war readily available here at work. > > Does anyone have an example of overriding an ActionForm's validate() method, > but using ActionMessage instead of ActionError (I presume you still have to > use a Collection of ActionErrors), and using html:messages instead of simple > old <html:errors/>. > Specifically, how does one tie in the id parameter in html:messages with the > ActionErrors Collection returned by one's validate() method ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
