The problem is that if I want to display the error in a Javascript 'alert' box I don't want the html header and footer, I just want the message.
The problem with this is to get the error text *only*. The only way I've found is to use String error = RequestUtils.message(pageContext, "org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE", "org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE", "errors.login.detailsInvalid"); That works fine in a jsp but I don't want this logic in my jsp and I can't access pageContext from within the Action. Does anyone know how to get the error text (access application.properties) from within an Action.

Just to put any error.header or error.footer in the properties file. If you must, the following will get you the list of errors: ActionErrors ae = (ActionErrors) request.getAttribute(Action.ERROR_KEY); Edgar -----Original Message----- From: Markus Pedratscher (WebBS) [mailto:markp@;webbs.tv] Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 5:56 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: How to access ActionErrors from within FormAction Hi, I'm fairly new to struts and I'm having the following problem. I want to display an error message in an js alert box. My understanding is that I can't do that with </errors> because if wraps the error.header and .error.footer around each message and does not have an attribute to disable this behavior. Therefore what I want to do is to get the message from application.properties and then store it in the form bean. The problem is that I can't figure out which class/method to use to read the message from application.properties (from within my formAction). I'm looking for something like this: String messageText = messageContext.getMessage(messageKey); Can anyone help?
