Hi Scott:
All you have to do is:
YouAction{
public String your_execute_method() {
If(some error){
/ * Chose what is appropriate for you - Field errors display the message
on top of the field on HTML page*/
this.addActionError();
this.addActionMessage()
this.addFieldError();
return INPUT ; /* or ERROR */ and display the same .jsp on the struts
.xml file
}
}
Please let me know if you still need more clarification/ help.

I have a situation where an attempt could be made to enter a description

suspect the easiest way to prevent this is to use HQL prior to my save.
Beyond this, how do I get an S2 action class to display a message on the
web
page? My action extends ActionSupport so I see a few methods here that
look
interesting:
getFieldErrors()
getActionErrors()
getActionMessages()
getErrorMessages()
However, I can't tell what I need to add to these Collections as in one
case
it wants the name of the field in error. This too is unknown since the
name
I give a screen field is not what the name ultimately becomes once
rendered. It appears the S2 tag expands the name of the field. I also
see
a ValidationAware interface that can be implemented.
I would be happy to read about the technique if someone could point me in
the right direction. I cannot seem to find anything on the S2 site when I
need it. Is there a search facility somewhere? I would probably post far
fewer questions if the available docs were search-able. Also, is there a
way to search through the messages from this forum? I am starting to
wonder
how many of us have personal collections of email messages storing up so
we
can get back to that useful tip someone shared three weeks ago Tuesday!
Does this not work like a NewsGroup?
