You can put an entry in the property files like this:
error.message=Error {0}
or
error.message={0}
and then you can do something like this:
...new ActionError(error.message, e.getMessage())...
or whatever it is that allows you to pass substitution arguments to a
message.

Craig,
Thanks for your reply. I have tested the code in the logonAction
class it does work. However, it only works when you use a key in the
properties file. If I have this code in a catch statement, how can I use
the actual error message with the getMessage() method of the exception
class? Any ideas on how to get around this?
Thanks

code below. My .jsp page that failure points to has the

set
an attribute within the response object and pass the error that way but I
thought I could use something like I'm trying to do below.
catch(Exception e)
{
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
errors.add(error,new ActionError(e.getMessage());
return mapping.findForward(failure);
}
Thanks
The Struts example application does something very similar to this in
LogonAction -- since that is where an invalid username/pasword combination
is detected. I think this is a reasonable design approach.
