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.
