Re: ActionForm validate() - what Action does the controller call?
If the validate method returs non empty ActionErrors object, the control will go to the JSP specified in the input attribute of the corresponding action element in struts-config.xml . Thanks, Rajasekhar Cherukuri Please respond to Struts Users Mailing List user@struts.apache.org To Struts Users Mailing List user@struts.apache.org cc Subject ActionForm validate() - what Action does the controller call? When my ActionForm returns a non-empty ActionErrors object, where does control go to? i.e. i read from the struts site: When the properties of this bean have been populated, but before the executemethod of the Action is called, this bean's validate method will be called, which gives the bean a chance to verify that the properties submitted by the user are correct and valid. If this method finds problems, it returns an error messages object that encapsulates those problems, and the controller servlet will return control to the corresponding input form. Otherwise, the validatemethod returns null, indicating that everything is acceptable and the corresponding Action.execute method should be called. (my bold) I guess I don't understand what 'corresponding input form' means? Presumably the controller needs to call some Action, how do I know / specify which one?

The action that called the validation is executed with a GET request. (More or less.) Dave - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Presumably the controller needs to call some Action, how do I know / specify which one? action element has input attribute, which contains path, where browser will be forwarded if validate() returns non-null non-empty collection. Usually it is the same page that you just submitted. Action's execute() method is not called at all. Because the control is forwarded by default, then when you refresh the page where you forwarded to, your prior invalid input is submitted again.
