hi people using struts1.1beta
i want to display my errors such that i get any major errors at the top of the page and then any form specific validation errors down with my form. doing this simply was in fact my main motivation for migrating to struts. so i have set up my page and it all works fine. a simple login form. My main problem is that the headers are repeated all the way down the form, for each error i get a full errors.header and errors.footer surely this is a bug. i can't find anything but trivial examples online where the errors are all clumped together at the top - not what I want. in my situation there are 3 possible errors, 2 relate to form validation and one to business logic. this is pretty typical actually, i recon. if there are any errors, i want the page to display a generic error header, then the overall error (ie error.login.failed) then with my form fields any particular errors. trying this with <html:errors property="Login"/> up the top (Login populated by my LoginAction) and then inline in my form <html:errors property="username"/> etc doesn't work. i get too many headers. if i take the headers out then i get no headers anywhere. i just want the headers at the top (obviously) and the footer below the form something like <html:errors> <html:error property="..."/> ... my form <html:error property="..."/> </html:errors> would seem to make the most sense to me. i saw a cryptic reference to using <html:message ...> or some such tag to do this but the remark seemed kinda off the cuff in the list archive/autofaq i was reading, and had no detail. what is the standard pattern for this style of error handling. i can't be the only one to hit this problem. is there a URL somewhere that gives a single page view of the struts tags and their attributes / example uses? cheers and thanks in advance dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
