Error.vm? looks like you are using turbine. if so, i recommend posting this on the turbine list instead, since turbine does most of the error handling for you. velocity knows nothing about forms or database types or any such thing. it's just a generic templating engine. so it merely renders the html template(s), that is/are returned to the client and then it's done. it may throw/log errors when the template syntax is invalid or when some error occurs while processing the template, but these kinds of errors are not related to verifying user input. what you want is probably some checks performed in your turbine action processing that request - or maybe some validation by intake, in case you use that. actions can redirect to a different page (eg. Error.vm). you might also want to put some javascript into the html page with to form to validate input fields before they are submitted (mind you, this sort of check can be done IN ADDITION to server-side checks, however it can't replace them).
