Hi Tom,
Now you've got this all mixed up. You dont need to call:
ActionErrors errors = ((MemberNewForm)form).validate(mapping,request);
..in your Action class anymore because Struts will automatically call
validate for you when you submit your form and you specify
validate=true in your struts-config (which you did). If there is an
error in validation, struts will take you back to the page you specify
in the "input" attribute.
HTH,
