"Action may only return values to the sitemap when they were successful. Therefore error conditions cannot be communicated that way. Because of this, everything that is would be returned is additionally stored using an output module. This includes the JDBC error message. The default is to use the request attribute module." Thanks for the info and the pointer. I would appreciate it if you could direct me to more information about how to use the request attribute module in an XSP; specifically to trap JDBC error messages - are there are samples of how this is done in any of the documentation? My work up to now has mostly been on *retrieving* db data and not on *adding* it, so I am still trying to get to grips with all the issues involved... Thanks Derek PS Apologies for the "cc", but I deleted your post to the list before I got to type this reply. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004/02/20 01:22:50 PM >>> Perhaps I have used the wrong keywords, but I cannot find anything in the docs that deals with this.... I am trying to present to the user the reason why a Database Add (or Update) action may have failed. The sitemap is set up for the entry form to be redisplayed on failure (via XSP)... but I would like to know how to access the specific error condition that triggered the failure, from within the XSP and then present a suitable message. Any help or a pointer to examples would be appreciated. Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
