This seems simple enough. So why doesn't it work?
Because the default ExceptionHandler class saves its own error messages into the request under the same key that Action.saveErrors() uses, overwriting the reference to the errors that you saved.
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/action/ExceptionHandler.html#storeException(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest,%20java.lang.String,%20org.apache.struts.action.ActionError,%20org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward,%20java.lang.String)
Hi Wendy,
Thanks for your reply. I know that what you suggest is a solution.
But I don't understand why what I originally tried doesn't work, which is to add some code in the catch block, before rethrowing it, for example like this:
} catch(TrcDatabaseException ex){ /* add relevant action errors */ ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); errors.add(ActionErors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError("errors.database.noconnection")); saveErrors(request, errors); /* rethrow the exception to be caught by Struts declarative exception handling mechanism */ throw ex; }
and have <html:errors/> display it in the JSP that is forwarded to.
