This has to do with your validation xml. You should have an arg0 and an arg1 that represent {0} and {1} in your message respectively. Check how you have it defined. -Tim

I just didn't have it in the right location. It was in the package structure alright, just in the war root, not WEB-INF/classes. Now, however, I'm getting this: User name can not be less than null characters. Why doesn't it know how many characters? -----Original Message----- From: Fenderbosch, Eric Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 15:56 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Application Resources & Error messages I'm confused on how error messages work. I've created a properties file TrackMessageResource.properties in the proper package structure and specified it in my struts-config like this: <message-resources null="false" parameter="com.*****.cc.track.struts.TrackMessageResources"/> I'm using the validator plugin and it is returning error messages like: ???en_US.errors.minlength??? In TrackMessageResource.properties I have: errors.minlength={0} can not be less than {1} characters. This application is not going to be I18N so I only want/need one message resource file. I don't understand why validator can't find the correct error message. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
