Check out Action.saveErrors for saving the errors returned from your call to
validate:
saveErrors(request, null); // clear current errors if you want
ActionErrors er = form.validate(mapping, request);
if ((er != null) && (!er.isEmpty())) {
saveErrors(request, er);
forward = new ActionForward(mapping.getInput());
}
