Brian, You want to have the message key in your ActionError and struts will resolve it from the ApplicationResources file for you. It is not something you manually need to do.
However last time I tried to return a value which was not in the ApplicationResources file I got an exception thrown stating that it does not exist. Returning blank sounds strange to me. Do you have a stack trace saying that your message is not in this file?
