uh, oh, never mind. major duh moment.. The answer is right there in the first link:
Finally, you can save an [ActionMessages] object under an arbitrary key and display it
with the html:messages tag:
ActionMessages am = new ActionMessages();
am.add( ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE,
new ActionMessage( "msg.warning" ) );
request.setAttribute("warnings", am);
and in your page:
<html-el:messages name="warnings" id="msg">
<c:out value="${msg}"/>
</html-el:messages>
Sorry for wasting your time!
