<html:errors /> not viewing

Hi,

I'm using html errors tag in struts as <html:errors /> but errors are not being displayed but the right page that has to show the errors is being displayed.

What could be the problem ?

Didn't get your question. Can you post the JSP with the Action class where you're storing action messages.
OR
Try using <html:messages/>

this is the input page that the error will be redirected to:

and this is my action class:

package com.struts.actions;

import com.struts.actionforms.InfoActionForm;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionError;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessage;

public class InfoAction extends org.apache.struts.action.Action {

private final static String SUCCESS = "success";

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
            HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {

ActionErrors actionErrors = new ActionErrors();
        
        InfoActionForm infoActionForm = (InfoActionForm) form;

if (infoActionForm.getFirstName().equals("")) {
            actionErrors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionMessage("!!!"));
        }

if (actionErrors.size() != 0) {
            saveErrors(request, actionErrors);
            return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput());
        }

return mapping.findForward(SUCCESS);
    }
}

Redirected to?

Are Struts 1 errors held in request or session?

If you're using ActionErrors, then its bad. why ? this is what Struts 1.x JavaDocs says about ActionErrors class.

A class that encapsulates the error messages being reported by the validate() method of an ActionForm. Validation errors are either global to the entire ActionForm bean they are associated with, or they are specific to a particular bean property (and, therefore, a particular input field on the corresponding form).

ActionErrors are associated with the ActionForm, if you really want to return error message, consider using ActionMessages.

Also, the input page to which your returning(redirecting ??) is normally the page from which action gets called, like a html submit form page.
