What is the best way to handle errors in Struts2 actions via Ajax request?..

[Mick Smith]

Not sure how to impelment this but I am doing as follows:

setting an error in my action when an error occurs along with a specific message in the HttpServletRequest however only the code is returned and not my specific message.

try{

...
}catch(Exception ex){
log.error("exception logged here: "+ex.getMessage());
ServletActionContext.getResponse().sendError(900, "My own error message");

}

anyone know why my error message is not being displayed? The 900 code is displayed as an error in the response but not the message! Do I need to add my error code/message somewhere else so that server can pick it up?


Is there a better solution with deadling with errors when the call to a struts action class is an ajax one?

Cheers
