Re: adding an ActionError in the Action

Andrew,

Did you ever get an answer? What we found was that we could copy to the 
request scope and errors work fine.  I then tried changing the doRequest 
for HttpError and it seems OK.

Hi,



If I form validates itself OK but subsequently the Action needs to raise an
  input error to the user, in my case security failed, how is it
  possible to add an ActionError for the errors tag to pick up. The
  only way to give struts a collection of ActionErrors is by returing
  it from the ActionForm.validate() method.



I presume if I know the name of the ActionErrors bean which the error tag
  accesses I could manually create it in the Action and add it to the
  correct scope so that the errors tag could pick it up.



Has anybody encountered this problem before?



Cheers,



Andy S

Have u looked at saveErrors() method of Action object. It should do the
work that you wish to do, just remember to use the errors tag in your page

Re: adding an ActionError in the Action

There is a method in the Action class you can use to do this: 
saveErrors(HttpServletRequest request, ActionErrors
errors).
You can also do directly :

request.setAttribute("org.apache.struts.action.ERROR", errors)

So all you have to do is create an ActionErrors object, put errors in it, save it in 
the request and return (new
ActionForward(mapping.getInput())) to return to the form.

This is illustrated in the example application.
