I don't believe it should be necessary to manually add the bean to the request attributes.

My guess is that you have not explicity set your Failure forward to redirect="false". I'm not sure what the default value is, but if you mistakenly set redirect="true", you'll lose all your form data.

I suspect Scott Piker's suggestion of using mapping.inputForward() (that's a good one that I'll have to try) ensures that redirect=false...

Before forwarding to failure try this... 

Action:

 Public ActionForward execute(Mapping mapping Form form, ...) {

   YourFormClass newuserbeanform = (YourFormClass)form;
   .
   .
   .

   boolean recordInsert = userbo.insertNewUser();

//By The way this looks backwards... I thought true was a success???
   if (recordInsert) {
     request.setAttribute("newuserbean", newuserbeanform);
     actionforward = mapping.findForward("Failure");
   } else {
     actionforward = mapping.findForward("Success");
   }

That will make the current form available to the jsp and it should show
the data you have in it.

Subject: Action Question

Hello,

I have a form, which has an attached bean. I am doing validation, so I
have good data going to my action.

In the action, I take the bean with good data, and hand it to a DTO
object which updates the database with the new user supplied
information. What can I do in the Action if my DTO object returns false
(Could not update database because of some condition).  I know I can
find a mapping and send it somewhere, but the user just filled out a
large form, and I would like to send them back to the form, where the
data is, and show them a message there. I tried using the Failure (see
below) but when it goes to the newUser.jsp page it is blank. The data
they just entered is not there.


I know how to do this in a ActionForm, but how in an Action?

Here is my action mapping:
   <action path="/newUser-submit"
     type="com.ddi.dealer.action.admin.CreateNewUserAction"
     name="newuserbean"
     scope="request"
     input="/jsp/admin/newUser.jsp"
     validate="true">
     <forward name="Success" path="/jsp/admin/mainAdmin.jsp" />
     <forward name="Failure" path="/jsp/admin/newUser.jsp" />
   </action>


Here is the action piece.
BeanUtils.copyProperties(usersbean, userbo);
   boolean recordInsert = userbo.insertNewUser();

   if (recordInsert) {
     actionforward = mapping.findForward("Failure");
   } else {
     actionforward = mapping.findForward("Success");
   }
   return actionforward;

I just would like to be able to return them to their form where they
just entered all the data, and let them try again.

Thanks,
Scott
