I'd consider adding an error property to the bean that corresponded to each item.
In the validate() method, you could then set the error property for whichever item was at fault (if any), using the same key you would use for ActionError. On the JSP side, you can use the message tag to translate the text. ActionError does the same thing in bulk, but you can use the same technique on your own. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY US -- Developing Java Web Applications with Struts -- Tel: +1 585 737-3463 -- Web: http://husted.com/about/services Michael Marrotte wrote: > > The ActionErrors work great for static pages.
