Question about forms and validation.

["Witt, Mike (OH35)" <mi...@honeywell.com>]

Hi,

I have a question about the validate method on the ActionForm.  From my
understanding, 
if a validation error is found, you set up a collection of ActionErrors and
return this.  This 
causes struts to forward back to your input form, correct?  

In my situation, I populate a form for editing.  When the submit is clicked,
I validate the entry.  
When a validation error occurs, it always displays the original form data.
Is there a way to 
get it to display the form as the user edited it?  Many times a large
quantity of good data is 
lost because of one bad field.  

Thanks for your help,

Mike Witt

Mike,

If you have the proper ActionForm class which represent the proper field in
you form and you use the struts html custom tag, your data should come back.
That is one of the best feature of Struts.

Hope this helps

David
