Think this is a bug? Fwd: Excluding global errors from

[Adam Jenkins <ma...@adamjenkins.net>]

I'm wondering if this is a bug or is my understanding of the html:errors 
incorrect.  With no other errors but the global error that caused the 
redirect (as specified in global-exception) the output of <html:errors/> is

error.header error.prefix error.suffix error.footer

With no error message between prefix and suffix even though an error message 
exists.  I would think the functionality expected would be to either print 
the global error message, or, if <html:errors/> should just be for validation 
errors, it should not print the errors.header etc.

Does that make sense?  (See below for more info).

Is this a bug, or is my understanding of <html:errors/> incorrect.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to come to terms with <html:errors/>...it's working ok, I'm using
the following for prefixes etc:

#error formatting information
errors.header=<font color="red"><center><p>Some errors occured validating the
form.  Please correct the following errors and try again.</p></center><ul>
errors.footer=</ul></font>
errors.prefix=<li>
errors.suffix=</li>

Which is working great when there are form validation errors, however, to get
to the page that has the form, I use a global exception redirect as such:

        <exception
            key="mysite.globalerrors.database_config"
            path="/private/install/ConfigDB.jsp"
            scope="request"
            type="com.mysite.utils.DBMissingConfigDataException"/>

And a tostring on org.apache.struts.action.ERROR =
{mysite.globalerrors.database_config=[mysite.globalerrors.database_config[The
site is not configured correctly: Required database configuration data was
missing.]]}

Now this is all well and good, except my <html:errors/> tag now prints out
 the header, and footer with one prefix and suffix in between (and no error
 message) when the page first loads (from the error redirect).  When there is
 form validation errors everything works fine, however it's just that initial
 redirect where everything goes haywire.

Does anyone know what's going on and/or how to fix?

Cheers
adam
