Struts Folk, In the case of a failure when validating a form bean on a multi-page form it looks to me like the user is always returned to the page defined as the input page in the struts action configuration. That works fine for a single page form but for multi-page forms I want to return to the current page in the wizard. I have overridden the processValidate method from the struts ActionServlet class to make this work, but I think I'm missing the way it's 'supposed' to be done. Can someone explain what I should be doing?
If there isn't a right way to do it currently then I would suggest factoring a method out of the processValidate method to do a lookup for the page to return to (findValidateFailUri?). There could be some standard logic implemented in ActionServlet to return to the input page, but then subclasses could override just this factored method to do their page lookup. Since many struts apps use a "page" parameter to indicate which page of a multi-page form they are on, then name the action forwards in the action definition as pageN, we could implement a simple extension to return to the 'current' page. That's what I've done in my override. If it would be useful I'm happy to post my overridden code. regards, Stephen Owens Corner Software
