Assuming you want to do this to make use of the <html:messages> tag... The default ExceptionHandler (org.apache.struts.action.ExceptionHandler) creates an ActionErrors object which encapsulates the error message derived from the Exception and the ExceptionConfig. By nature of the inheritance relationship an ActionErrors is an ActionMessages. Therefor you can use the <html:messages> tag with the ActionErrors created by the ExceptionHandler.
In your page you can iterate over the ActionErrors created by the ExceptonHandler like so... <html:messages id="error"> <li><c:out value="${error}" escapeXml="false"/></li> </html:messages> By default the "messages" tag will iterate over the ActionErrors rather than the ActionMessages which is what you want in this case since ExceptionHandler created and stored them as ActionErrors. -- Norm Deane MIS Consultant Vanderbilt University (615) 322-7855 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Nathan Coast [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 4:20 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: ExceptionHandler to ActionError > > > Hi > > I'd like to catch exceptions in an exception handler and then > re-use the > ActionMessage mechanism to relay messages to the failed input > page.
