Get error from FormValidatorAction
I have simple form validation working correctly, however when validation fails I need to gather more information about
the failure to pass back to the user.
I don't want to use XSP, so how can I get this failure info via the sitemap or another action?
Thanks,
Paul.

Paul,
There's a sample hidden in 2.1 which is unfortunately broken -- I've
just corrected the paths to the stylesheets. So, update from CVS,
rebuild, run the servlet, and go to
http://localhost:8888/samples/simpleform/sform
http://localhost:8888/samples/simpleform/formval
The first sample is not finished (haven't gotten around to it) and is
overly complex as it performs an additional trick. It should get you
going anyway. Note that an error message is shown on the first visit
of the page because validation fails for the required parameter.
The second sample uses a logicsheet approach.
HTH.
Chris.

I'm using 2.1.
I can see no additional request parameter being added, which is contrary to the documentation. The parameters passed
as part of the initial form request are added though.
I've tried using <error> tags with the SimpleFormTransformer, but these just get ignored!
Anyone got either of these two methods working?
Many thanks,
Paul.

The action puts everything into request attributes. Don't know the
actual structure off head. It might be possible to access it through
the request-attribute input module, a custom input module, or a custom
action.
In 2.0.4 there's a transformer that allows to include error tags
depending on the error condition and to fill the form with values from
the request (so the user does not need to re-enter the data). I'd
advise to use the 2.0.5-dev or later variant of this transformer, though.
Chris.
