Just starting to use Struts in anger I have found an inflexibility in the Struts error model that I need to get around.
Basically I want to be able to raise a single ActionError for 2 properties. e.g. a password field and a confirm password field exist if they don't match then I want to display one message saying "Password and confirmation password don't match" I also want to highlight both fields. To highlight both fields I would ideally raise a single error for each property. Sadly the model doesn't seem to support multiple properties for a single error. It seems that my choices will be to create a dodgy convention when raising messages and have a special tag lib for displaying them. Has anyone found a nice way of doing this. It must a problem everyone has faced because surely most web apps have cross field validation and want to have a single error message that relates to the fields involved in the cross validation. e.g. field B cannot be foo when field A is bar.
