I see my problem seems to be confounding all comers ! Well I went back first
principles as it were and started with the struts mailreader example, and
checked what I had done differently.
And do you know what the answer is? Take a look at this again -
<!-- Process a user logon -->
<action path="/SubmitLogonForm"
type="template.action.LogonAction"
name="LogonForm"
scope="request"
input="/logon.jsp"
validate="true">
<forward name="success" path="/welcome.jsp" />
</action>
with the input field as a URL. When that field is changed to a global
forward, configured like this (as in the struts example) -
<forward name="logon" path="/Logon.do"/>
It works ! Ta da ! .... Error messages are displayed in all their glory.
This is somewhat of a pyrrhic victory, it having cost me several hours of
banging my fist on the desk in frustration.
Andrew, Dave and Michael thank you for help. I'm sure your posts contain
answers to problems I have yet to encounter :)
Perhaps the DTD should be updated for this field to dissallow forward
slashes.
Andy.
