Dear all, I am having problems implementing the suggestion of struts' suggestion of "how to populate a page when validation fails". My idea was to have a s:action in the jsp that will be the input result of the failing validation action. However, it seems that the interceptor stack of the 2nd action (the s:action in the jsp) still thinks there is an error. I confirmed this by debugging the DefaultWorkflowInterceptor, where validationAwareAction.hasErrors() is true. It shouldn't be (at least not according to the suggestion in https://cwiki.apache.org/WW/how-do-we-repopulate-c...ols-when-validation-fails.html ); should it?
I've posted the question with a simple code snippet at http://www.coderanch.com/t/535806/Struts/Populating-jsp-page-when-validation , so you can have a look at the code there. My questions are: 1) Why doesn't the method mapped to <s:action name="xxx"> get called when the form fails, ie, why is its interceptor stack picking up an error when it shouldn't? 2) How does one solve this, ie, how do I call the xxx action to populate the rest of the page if I have a form with validation and an xxx action bellow (the xxx action's purpose is to populate a table that should be shown with the form, even when validation fail) Your help is greatly appreciated, Miguel Almeida
