[FLOW3-general] Validation and flashMessages

[Rens Admiraal]

Hey Rudy,

When the validation on the arguments fails you are actually redirected 
to the original action. This is working in Extbase like it is in Flow.

If you want to display the validation results of the form I would 
suggest using the validationResults viewhelper for that:
http://docs.typo3.org/flow/TYPO3FlowDocumentation/TheDefinitiveGuide/PartV/FluidViewHelperReference.html#f-form-validationresults

Hope this helps

Greetz,
Rens
