Re: ActionForm - redirect to custom JSP after validation failed

[Mark Lowe]

You could forward (not redirect) to a generic failure page if there are 
errors present. I confess i haven;t done this but it could be what you 
want, even forward to a global forward defined in struts config, so you 
can reuse you error page for other stuff.

Hi Folks,

I have a simple login.jsp that I want to validate. So I have a Class
"LoginForm" with a "validate" method, that fills up the ActionErrors 
with
the errors that might occur (missing username/password, wrong
username/password). Later the execute method of the corresponding 
Action
class "LoginAction" checks those ActionErrors. If not empty I try to
return a forward to "failure.jsp".

The problem I have is that before my LoginAction could execute my 
custom
forward the RequestProcessor of Struts tells in the logs, that 
validation
has failed and request will be forwarded to /login.jsp (which is of 
course
the input item of this action in struts-config.xml). When a validation
error occurs my LoginAction class is never called.

I searched the archive of this list already but couldnīt get through 
the
solutions I found there. I still donīt understand why this is happening
and what I can do to redirect to a custom failure.jsp.

Could someone please explain in newbie-style ;-) ?

Thanks & Regards!

Chris
