So you are saying that error.isEmpty() returns false, but <html:errors/> doesn't display anything?
This is happening 'cause you use redirect instead of forward. Also You might want to try System.out.println(mapping.getInput()) to see if you are going back to the right page. You might be surprised:). -----Original Message----- From: Adam Levine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 8, 2003 1:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: using getInputForward vs new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()) My goal in handling "business problems" in validating a form submission from an Action.execute() is 2-fold: 1: Display the accumulated ActionErrors (ie, using [html:errors/] ) 2: "Return" the user to the exact same URL in their browser address bar. I was using an action-mapping forward in struts-config to send them to the original .jsp they used to submit from. The errors were showing up (good), but the URL in the address bar was being shown as /dynamic/Path.jspa (bad) So I changed the action-mapping, setting "redirect" to "true". Now the address bar was correct (good), but the error messages were gone (bad). Then I did a lot of web searching, and discovered that I should be using the getInput. So, now my execute() was returning: return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()); This worked! The address bar was correct and the errors were still present. Then I "upgraded" my struts library to 1.1b3. Now I'm back to the original problem of the address bar being right, but my errors are gone. I found mapping.getInputForward(), and tried returning that, even going in and setting the redirect field to "true". I'm bouncing between the same 2 situations I had before. Am I missing something? Is it no longer possible to have "the best of both worlds"? For whatever it may be worth, I'm using the -el sets of libraries (thank you for finally getting that!).. and jboss 3.07.. and xdoclet... Thanks for any insight you can provide. -- adam _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
