Bean Validation

[Kevin Gibbs <ke...@gibbsonline.co.uk>]

Hi everyone - first time posting, please be gentle with me!

Scenario:
=======

My ActionForm has *very* little validation in it, this has been left to the 
"storage layer".

How can I return to the input form from the Action class, and leave the 
inputted data on the screen i.e. Force a form validate() failure?

If I return "new ActionForward(a_Mapping.getInputForm());", the inputted data 
does not appear on the screen.

Many Thanks - Kevin

Build an ActionErrors object, with one or more errors in it.  Send it to the
Action.saveErrors() method.

After that, assuming your "input" attribute is properly set in the Action
definition, then you can return "new ActionForward(mapping.getInput())";
