ActionError issue

[David Cox]

Hi,

Seems a common problom,Read a lot of articles on it.But could'nt find an answer.

I am using this code in execute(...) method,

 
 
ActionErrors = new ActionErrors()
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError("error.string"));
saveErrors(request, errors);
return mapping.findForward("XXXX");
 

Then i use <html:errors/> in JSP.

But the error messages does'nt come in my JSP page.But if i use this code instead,i get the error messages in JSP page.

 
ActionErrors = new ActionErrors()
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError("error.string"));
saveErrors(request, errors);
 
return (new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()));
 

If i add

 return (new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()));  

The code works fine.I am getting error messages in my JSP page.I dont understand the behavior.

Anybody knows why?.

Thanks
DC

Interesting. The only hunch I have is that maybe the XXXX forward is setup to issue a redirect to the browser. (Then, the ActionErrors which were stored in the request would be lost by the time it gets to the correct JSP). So, did you set redirect="true"?

Other than that, I have no idea.

Nate explained my thoughts exactly.
