thanks for your reply, jeff.
i wasn't aware that struts 1.0.2 used a validation.xml file. there is
nothing like that anywhere on my system. besides, it's not the validation
that is the problem. the validation is working fine. the problem is that the
paramater being passed into the ActionError constructor isn't being included
in the error message that is being output.
