Validation prevents Action from creating session scope object
I have a Struts application that acts like a wizard (conditionally displaying only relevant pages and skipping others based upon previous user input). One of my pages collects multiple instances of a single record by allowing data to be entered and displaying previous records in a table. To accomplish this my Action class queries the contents of the bean, which is my model, to determine if the JSP it supports should be displayed. If the JSP should be displayed, the Action creates necessary objects (an ArrayList) setting them in the session (under the name of list) and forwards to the use mapping. Otherwise the Action class forwards to the skip mapping, bypassing this page. The JSP uses the logic:iterate tags to display the contents of list from the session in a table. When I hit the Add button on the page, the Action (the same Action mentioned above, it handles both pre and post processing for the page) takes my form bean and adds it to the ArrayList and returns to the page where another entry is shown in the list of records. My problem is, when I tried to add validation all that I have described broke. The browser displays Error 500: Cannot find bean list in any scope. It is acting as though validation is bypassing my action (and my initialization code) and going directly to the page. Is this possible? Do I have something configured wrong? I have other pages that do not rely on preexisting classes in the session and they are validating without problems. Thank you for your help.Robert

I have other Validation happens before the action is called, so yes it is possible. You can control validation through the action mapping in struts-config.xml, or you can play with the validation method on the form bean. pages that do not rely on preexisting classes in the session and they are validating without problems.

RE: Validation prevents Action from creating session scope object
Thanks for the information. I have been trying to keep my validation in one place (validation.xml). Is it possible to have a page that validates through XML be entered (and initialized) through an Action? And if so how?
