We've found that the message tag is really "too generic" to be useful. Making it a little more flexible might be helpful for some particular use case, but it's not going to be able to cover everything. IMO this is something better done on a per-case basis by the client code and the entire feature should be bagged from stripes.
private List<String> errorMessages; private List<String> warningMessages; private List<Message> randomMessages; private Map<String, Message> messagesAreBestLeftUpToTheClientDeveloper; The message feature as it stands today is so simple it is about the same amount of work to do it yourself. Set some state in the current action bean or context, and use your own jsp tagfile or freemarker macro to pull and render them in the same spirit of the <stripes:messages /> tag, however complex you need to go. Obviously I don't think we'll see the feature cut for backwards compatibility reasons, but I don't think enhancing it to support X but not Y and Z is that good of an idea.... -----Original Message----- From: Iwao AVE!
