Nikolaos,
It seems like you could easily extend LocalizableMessage and create an
InfoMessage and WarningMessage class. Then, you would just need to create
an InfoMessagesTag class and a WarningMessagesTag class. Have those classes
define before and after properties just like MessagesTag.java does. In
fact, copy and paste MessagesTag.java wholesale -- just change getMessages()
to return List<InfoMessage> or List<WarningMessage>. Then, define the tags
in your TLD file.
Then, in your ActionBean, just instantiate InfoMessages or WarningMessages
and put them in the context just like a SimpleMessage. Then, you should
easily be able to have a <stripes:warningMessages> and
<stripes:infoMessages> tags in your JSPs. You would need to get rid of any
<stripes:messages> tags as they don't discern any type of messages to
display. Then, everything should work fine.
Honestly, this probably is an hour or so worth of work and it continues to
follow Stripes' conventions. It might be worth some consideration.
