Sorry Erik, prematurely hit some contrl key.. So, to continue, in your success.jsp add:
<logic:messagesPresent message="true"> <html:messages id="message" message="true"> <span id="success"><c:out value="${message}"/></span><br> </html:messages> </logic:messagesPresent> But to display your error, do: <logic:messagesPresent> <span id="errorsHeader"><bean:message key="errors.validation.header"/></span> <html:messages id="error" message="false"> <li><strutsbean:write name="error" /></li> </html:messages> <hr> </logic:messagesPresent> Hth, Geeta > -----Original Message----- > From: Erik Weber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 2:45 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Confused about ActionMessages > > > Hello all. > > I have successfully used ActionErrors in combination with the > html:errors tag, by adding errors under various keys and then simply > placing the <html:errors/> tag at the top of my JSP. > > However, the ActionMessages class doesn't seem to act in > parallel to the > ActionErrors class, and neither does the html:messages tag > seem to act > just like the html:errors tag (for one, it has a required > attribute that > the docs don't explain very well).
