<html:messages> is an iterator through messages, so you can leave the HTML out of the resources file:

For the example below, here's how to do it with html:messages instead:

<div class="error">
<ul>
<html:messages id="msg">
<li><c:out value="${msg}" /></li>
</html:messages>
</ul>
</div>


Despite the name, html:messages defaults to looking for ActionMessages saved using "saveErrors", not "saveMessages", although you can use the "messages='true'" attribute to change that, and you can use other attributes to look up an arbitrary ActionMessages saved under any key; you can also specify a "property" attribute to filter the list to only messages associated with a certain property.


As usual, see the docs for full details, but I prefer html:messages to html:errors for this very reason.

Is there a simple way to iterate over all the validation errors.  I
don't want to just do <html:errors..../>  I want to actually for a
<ul><li>...</li></ul> of all the errors that occured when submitting the
page.
Is this possible?  Does anyone have an example I could use?

Do you _really_ want to iterate over the validation errors, or do you just want the output to be a bulleted list? If all you want is the <ul><li> tags around your errors, this works:


ApplicationResources.properties:
  errors.integer=<li>{0} must be an integer.</li>
  error.no.userId=<li>User ID does not exist</li>
  error.no.email=<li>No email address on file</li>
  errors.header=<ul>
  errors.footer=</ul>

somePage.jsp:
  <div class="error">  <html-el:errors/>  </div>
(The 'error' style just sets the font and turns it red, it's not required.)

I'm interested to know if there's a better way to do this-- putting markup in the .properties file doesn't seem "right" to me.
