Well, at least now you know you're invoking the bean:message tag. ;-)
That's a problem I've found with debugging custom tags: if you forget the
taglib directive or screw it up, you get no complaints.
It seems to be saying it can't find your message by that key. Can you find
any messages? Do you have the correct reference to the properties file in
your web.xml file, e.g.:
<!-- Action Servlet Configuration -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>application</param-name>
<param-value>com.propel.webapp.Resources</param-value>
</init-param>
In my case, that means the file is at
<webapproot>/classes/com/propel/webapp/Resources.properties . I don't think
it necessarily has to be there (isn't there some search path for finding
it?), but that has worked for me (using resin).
Make sure you can find any message and then make sure your tag is
referencing the message key correctly, e.g., I would expect given what
you've said it would be:
<bean:message key="main.title"/>
