I'm having a problem due to the frame-based layout of one of our pages. Because the framing page (w/ the frameset/frames definition) gets the request first, the ActionErrors in the request don't make it down to the sub-frame pages. Is it possible to "hijack" the action errors via a scriplet in the framing page that forwards the ActionErrors (as ActionErrors) along to one or more framed JSPs.
I found the following posting, but I'd prefer to forward the actual ActionErrors instead of just an HTML string representation. Anyone have experience with this? What is the identifying name for the ActionErrors object in the request?

In case that this has been answered before, please ignore it and send me a link. I think that there must be something I've missed when using the Struts validation feature within frames. In short: I'm trying to manually retrieve and "forward" the ActionErrors within a frame definition page (which is the "input" page for a mapping). But those manually set request parameters are gone when I access them. The situation is as follows: The page myframe.jsp consists of two frames: mynavigation.jsp and myContent.jsp. myContent.jsp is the JSP that is validated. In case that a validation error (ActionError) occurs, the follwoing (relevant) events occur (correct me if I'm wrong) - Struts puts the ActionErrors I created within validate into the request - a forward to the "input" page is done as defined in the struts-config (in my case the "action" entry is: <action path="/myContentActionPath" type="some.SomeAction" name="contentForm" scope="session" validate="true" input="/myframe.jsp"> <forward name="back" path="/somePrev.jsp"/> <forward name="next" path="/someNext.jsp"/> </action> so it leads to the frame page. - within the myframe.jsp, two new requests are created: one for each frame But I think I should still be able to access the request with the ActionErrors within the frame definition page. So in myframe.jsp I could do something like: myframe.jsp: <%@ page language="java" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %> <html:html> <head> <html:base/> <title>MyTitle</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <frameset cols="150,*" frameborder="no" border="0" framespacing=0> <frame src="myNavigation.jsp" NAME="Menue"> <frame src="myContent.jsp?manuallySetParam=<html:errors property="myErrorProperty"/>" NAME="content"> </frameset> <noframes> </noframes> </html:html> in order to retrieve the ActionError String for property "myErrorProperty" within the content page: myContent.jsp: ... <P> <%= request.getParameter("manuallySetParam") %> </P> .... This - I agree - doesn't look elegant, but at least it should work. If I have the input page defined as a pure jsp (no frames), the html:errors are retrieved as expected. Are there any ideas, why the parameter "manuallySetParam" does not contain the error message of key "myErrorProperty" ? Help and/or design suggestions greatly appreciated!
