Currently for client/server side validation, struts is able to maintain the data and shows it to the user, with the error messages and preserved user input. I'm using Hibernate for persistence. The StaleObjectStateException is caught inside the filter that I use to set up the Hibernate session. How would I then be able to get the object that Hibernate tries to persist?
If I take this exception handling into my action class, this would expose the Hibernate API which I'm trying to avoid. If I could get the object that causes the exception, how could I then display to the user both sets of data? The new and conflicting ones? Does Struts 2 support this type of displaying, or I've to add it in myself? Thanks!
