Action has some convenience methods for saving errors - you can do something like the following in your Action's execute method:
if (<insert-condition-here>) { ActionMessages errors = new ActionMessages(); errors.add("myProperty", new ActionMessage("myProperty.error")); saveErrors(request, errors); return mapping.getInputForward(); } This will work with the latest version of Struts - it may vary depending on what verison you're using.
