pass error message from action method to jsp

Question

This is my action method containing the business logic. I want to show error message from this action method in the jsp. The control goes to the jsp but the error message does not show up.In my jsp i have this code to display error message:

<html:errors/>

I am new to struts. Also in eclipse it says that saveErrors method is deprecated. i know how to display errors using validate method of the bean class which extends ActionForm.

 public ActionForward upload(....)
    {
     if(noOfColumns>7)
                  {
                      errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionMessage("error.file.maxCols")); 
                     saveErrors(request,errors);

                     return mapping.findForward("uploadVIPProcess");
                  }
    }

Answer 1

finally found it. This was very simple:

public ActionForward upload(....)
    {
              errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionMessage("error.file.maxCols")); 
              saveErrors(request,errors);
              return (new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()));
    }

so the only difference is instead of:

return mapping.findForward("uploadVIPProcess");

I changed it to:

return (new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()));

and it's working just fine:)
