Hi all,

I've got an action called "edit" that prepares some objects for use in a form (Lists for select tags, etc), then dispatches to the JSP form. It's dependent on having a parameter passed to it via a GET url (e.g. edit.action?id=4) to build these objects.

This form submits to another action, "doedit", and there's some programmatic validation on this action. If I use the Dispatcher result type on the input result, Struts dispatches to the JSP form again, but since it never calls the first "edit" action, the form controls don't get populated. If I do redirect-action on the input result, I get back to the form, but Struts seems to have "forgotten" the FieldErrors object, so I get no validation messages.

How do you deal with validation when you're using actions to prepare forms like this? Am I approaching the rich forms generation the wrong way, and there's a better way?

Thanks for any advice, since I'm banging my head against the wall on this - I must be missing something obvious.

Cheers,
Andy.
