validate() fails to re-populate the html:form

["Blessing, Jeffrey" <bl...@msoe.edu>]

I've just recently read the entire thread on this issue posted
last Wed 9/19/01 and still have the following problem:

When the validate() method of my form bean returns a non-
empty ActionErrors list, struts fails to re-populate the form
fields with the text that was submitted successfully.  I've
checked the following:

In ApplicationResources.properties:
========================
errors.header=<ul>
errors.footer=</ul><hr>

In struts-config:
==========
    <action    path="/saveTriage"
               type="org.apache.struts.webapp.example.SaveTriageAction"
               name="triageForm"
              scope="request"
              input="/triage.jsp"
           validate="true">
    </action>

The errors list *is* reported successfully on the input JSP page, however.
This is the only JSP page involved (no wizard like series of JSP pages).
I tried the fix suggested in the list, of changing the scope to "session",
and
the app throws the following exception:
"No bean found under attribute key triageForm"

I've based this app on the struts-example app, as it appears that everyone
else is also doing.

What next?!

Try downloading Struts-simple, and porting the affected classes there.

Something strange is wrong. It does actually work as documented ;-0
