I created a web app using velocity and struts. I have used the velstruts package in my implementation. I now want to add error checking to my app. I am not sure how to do it. Should I be doing the error checking on the velocity or struts side of the implementation?

I think you should do form validation in your ActionForm's validate() method, or use Validator framework (via Struts plugin).

At Velocity side you are limited to only display form validation errors and do client-side validation using JavaScript, which isn't quite effective taking in account that not everyone has JavaScript enabled. So, if you prefer to inform users about possible errors before sending forms, include also client-side validation using JavaScript, but do not forget the server-side validation. As far as I know, it's quite easy to add both client- and server-side validations with Validator framework.
