How to resolve Warning? -- in Struts

Question

Hi all,
I am doing a mini project in STRUTS.
All the code i did so far is fine and working fine.
Now i am trying to add additional functionalities in login section in my project. To reflect the errors in the same Jsp file
I had imported both
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionError;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
both classes..
I am getting the warning --- "Warning -[ deprication ]org.apache.struts.action.ActionError in org.apache.struts.action has been depricated "
Please le me know how to solve this one.
Thanks,
oreh

Dont worry on the warnings. I was getting the same as well and the code still works. But its better to handle warnings for deprecations.
Ideally ...instead of using ActionErrors its required to use another class i.e. ActionMessages in struts 1.2
Use add("variable",ActionMessage) instead of add("variable",ActionError)
Also in your Action form if you are using the validate method then change the following ...
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
               HttpServletRequest request) to
public ActionMessages validate(ActionMapping mapping,
               HttpServletRequest request) Cheers

I havent swicthed over to the ActionMessages yet but it seems that html:errors tag has been deprecated in favour of html:messages. Check it out if this works well .
