The action:errors tag is a convenient interface to the Struts ApplicationResources. Any component in the application is welcome to use the ApplicationResources (hence the "application" moniker).
What you might want to do is save the message key in the inputErrors property and then use bean:message to write it out. This will make it a drop-in replacement for action:errors. -- 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: > > One way I thought of to do this is to store any errors in the bean that > <logic:iterate> uses, e.g.: > > <logic:iterate id="jspBean" name="javaBean" property="javaBeanProperty"> > <td> > item <bean:write name="jspBean" property="item"/> > </td> > <td> > qty <bean:write name="jspBean" property="qty"/> > </td> > <td> > <bean:write name="jspBean" property="inputErrors"/> > </td> > </logic:iterate> > > But, here I'm using the "inputErrors" property of the "javaBeanProperty" of > "javaBean" and I'm not using the <html:error> tag.
