S2: Ajax tags -- how to return a message to a specific DIV?

[fireapple]

I wonder if this is durable with S2:

JSP form:
this form has a button FINALIZE, if all goes well - the result SUCCESS should be seen in placeA on the page and if it fails the result FAILURE should be seen in placeB (a different place on the page);
the SUCCESS/FAILURE are just messages but they must be seen on different places on the page.
(note that the page is using AJAX tags)

<code>
<s:submit value="finalize"  action="test_ finalize" theme="ajax" targets="target_id_success, target_id_failure"  showLoadingText="false" indicator="loadingImage"/>
.
.

<!-- placeA -->
<s:div id="target_id_success" theme="ajax">
</div>
.
.
<!-- placeB -->
<s:div id="target_id_failure" theme="ajax">
</div>
</code>

So, say the end user clicks the finalize button and activates the finalize-action-method. How can I instruct in the action that for if all goes well - show the success message on DIV target_id_success,
and if something went wrong - show the FAILURE message on DIV: target_id_failure.

<code>
public String finalize()
{
     
     //something went wrong
     addActionError("error...sorry"); //this error should be seen only in DIV target_id_failure
     return "error-message";

      //if all is OK
      addActionMessage("good job"); //this message should be seen only on DIV target_id_success
      return "success-message";
}
</code>

Many thanks!

Hi fireapple,
as for me You should not do it in action,
precisely action should not decide what div to be updated,
just perform action and return some result - success or error.
What i would do is to place this logic inside $ajax(...) call from
jquery [which i use]
so that other programmers could read it when they will change that
behaviour on the page or in js file.

But that is just my opinion.

Best greetings,
Paweł Wielgus.
