RE: ValidatorForm losing params when validation fails

[Nimish Chourey , Tidel Park - Chennai]

The validate method of the form would be called before the execute method of
action ..
Why do you have to call the form.validate(mapping, request) explicitly , I
doth think this code in acton would be executed if the validation fails ...

Subject: ValidatorForm losing params when validation fails


The following code fragment is used in a DispatchAction and when the
validation fails, the input form is returned unpopulated because all my form
fields lose the data that was originally sent with the request:

ActionErrors errors = form.validate(mapping, request);
        if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
                saveMessages(request, errors);
                return mapping.getInputForward();
        }

My form extends ValidatorForm and I have not overridden reset().  Why is the
form losing it's parameters?  Thanks in advance.
