Thanks for the reply. It's not that I'm nervous about ModuleException,
but rather that there are several ways to do it. There is the
traditional java way, ModuleException, your method of catching
exceptions and forwarding to a global error page...and many others. I
was hoping to learn about the pros/cons of various methods before
picking one.

Rick,
Let me give this one more try: I'm considering using the
ModuleException class for exception handling. It looks like a
reasonably painless way to go. Is there any reason *not* to use this
method?
You mean exception, right?
I recall your initial message and your concerns about requiring Struts.
But, as you mentioned, you will be using this only in Action classes,
which already (duh!) require Struts.
Are you nervous about using these exceptions?
Or if anyone can point me to an example showing a better
method, that would be great also.
Typically, if I catch an exception from some service that I called (say,
an application-specific exception), I'll go ahead and just insert the
error messages directly like this:
ActionMessages errors = new ActionMessages();
errors.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE,
super.getActionMessage("error.whatever",
"MyBundle", request));
super.saveErrors(request, errors);
return mapping.findForward("error");
Note that "super.getActionMessage" is a method that I wrote to get an
error message from a specific bundle.
My global "error" page prints out any error messages available in the
request. No need to throw another exception.
It really just comes down to what you want to do.
