Messages are stored since you use RedirectMessageInterceptor.
Action property Data is not retained during redirect.
Try following scenarios,
Method1:
So you need to set explicitly from Action property to ActionContext in
Action1 and Need to retrive from the context and set to properties in
Action2.
Method2:
Try to use alias interceptor and put alias through the <param> tag in
struts.xml of Action1 and Action2 properties as below.
<param name="aliases">#{ 'action1Property1' : 'action2Property1',
'action2Property2' : 'action2Property2'}</param>
<interceptor-ref name="alias"/>
Method3:
Have you tried chain instead of redirectaction and use same properties in
Action1 and Action2.

Subject: Re: Preserving Messages and Garbage values Across a Redirect in
Struts 2
I donno If i can able to explain it to you, I will try my best , here is
the
secinario
Step 1. When the user click the button on the page, depend on the string
return from the action method the page will be display and is configured in
the struts.xml file as mention below.
<action name="determineCaseEvaluationType"
class="com.activity.EvaluateCaseAction"
method="determineCaseEvaluationType">
<result name="guidelInitConsid"
type="tiles">editGuidelinesCaseEvaluation</result>
<result name="shrtsntcInitConsid"
type="tiles">editShortSentenceCaseEvaluation</result>
<result name="sscat2p1InitConsid"
type="tiles">editShortSentenceCaseEvaluation</result>
</action>
step 2. There are fields in the pages like 10 text boxes 2 drop down and 2
radio buttons , when I fill all the field and click submit it will do the
neccessary business operation and return the string to which page is to
display, and is mention in the struts.xml file as mention below
<action name="saveInitConsiderationEval"
class="com.activity.EvaluateCaseAction" method="saveInitConsiderationEval">
<interceptor-ref name="redirectInput"/>
<result name="success" type="redirect-action">
determineCaseEvaluationType
</result>
<result name="input" type="redirect-action">
determineCaseEvaluationTypeForInput
</result>
</action>
step 3. : when valiations fails I need to determine on which page
validations failed and hence I am forwarding the the input to method which
it will determine what page to be displayed.
<action name="determineCaseEvaluationTypeForInput"
class="us.ga.state.pap.cons.clemency.presentation.action.activity.EvaluateCa
seAction"
method="determineCaseEvaluationTypeForInput">
<result name="guidelInitConsid"
type="tiles">editGuidelinesCaseEvaluation</result>
<result name="shrtsntcInitConsid"
type="tiles">editShortSentenceCaseEvaluation</result>
<result name="sscat2p1InitConsid"
type="tiles">editShortSentenceCaseEvaluation</result>
</action>
I hope you got the sicenario , Its tofugh to explain whatz going on in the
mind !
Thanks
Siddiq.
