Thanks for the reply.
My error was to believe that handleValidationErrors was called when validation fails, when, in fact, the method is called whenever there are ValidationErrors in the actionbeancontext (as clearly stated in the javadoc, btw). This can seem the same at first sight, but theres a rough corner. If you try to forward to *the same* action but different event, handleValidationErrors will be invoked again, possibly resulting in an infinite loop. On a side note, while testing my discoveries, Ive found that the event gets lost when a forward is made to the same action Dont know if this is a known issue. Rudimentary sample code: public Resolution handleValidationErrors(ValidationErrors errors) throws Exception { String event = getContext().getEventName(); // First validation error is triggered in the event persistUserData if (!event.equals("execute")) { return new ForwardResolution(EditUserAction.class, "execute").addParameter("user.id", user.getId()); // Execute event gets ignored, resulting in an infinite loop } else { return null; } } Sorry about the clumsy explanation.

Hi Hector, I am not a writer of this entry but I believe it means method will be invoked when validation not passes (fails). So, lets say you have a form that contains some validation errors, normally, user will be presented with your form and validation errors. However, if you implement ValidationerrorHandler intrerface, before presenting user with the form, method handleValidationErrors() will be invoked, and there you can decide what to do with errors (e.g. remove them, add more errors etc) hth, -m On 12/22/2008 11:32 AM, Héctor López wrote: Hi all. Just noticed (after scratching my head for a couple hours) that I had misunderstood the statement is invoked when validation fails in the Validation Reference wiki. Can I have a wiki user to try to clarify it? User: hlopf Mail: hector.lo...@unileon.es Thanks.
