Here is what we had to do. I would love opinions to know if I am on the
right track.
In our BaseAction we have a helper method that looks for ActionErrors in
request scope (with the Struts Key):
protected boolean isValErrorsPresent(HttpServletRequest request){
ActionErrors errors = (ActionErrors)request.getAttribute(Action.ERROR_KEY);
return (errors == null)? false:true;
}
Then in the load action for the page we decide if we populate the form bean from the
back end or leave the form bean as it is:
in LoadAction:
if(! isValErrorsPresent){
...Get form bean and populate with data from the back end...
}else{
.. Do nothing because form is already populated with bad data and the form will re
display the origianl data but with validation method.
}
my 2 cents..

I'm using a databean to populate my JSP page. I put the bean on the
request. The page populates fine. When submitting however, Struts builds my
formbean and calls the validate method. If the validate method fails, I try
to return to the submitting page. However, that page uses the databean,
which is no longer in scope, and I error out. Others must have this same
challenge. What have y'all done to accommodate this? thanx.
