["Paul Benedict (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Paul Benedict closed STR-2119.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

Eric, you can handle this situation today in Struts. Set your Controller's attribute inputForward="true" which will then use your action mapping's input attribute as a forward name. Then foward yourself to an action which can return the HTTP status code you want.

Example:
<controller inputForward="true" />

<action .... input="myInputForward">
   <forward name="myInputForward" path="/my400Action" />
</action>

Because you can do this today, I am marking this issue as Not A Problem. There is no enhancement to add or defect to fix.

> When redisplaying a form after validation has indicated a failure, a status code
> such as "400 Bad Request" should be used in place of "200 OK". This simplifies
> testing, and is important for applications that need to interact with the web
> interface of an application directly.
