Still not displaying messages, here is what I have so far. struts-config.xml entry:
<snip> ...<controller/> <message-resources id="ApplicationResources" key="ApplicationResources" null="false" parameter="ApplicationResources"/> <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin">... The ApplicationResources.properties file is located at /WEB-INF/classes/ApplicationResources.properties it contains: <snip> ... label.phone.number=Phone Number label.welcome=Welcome back {0} {1}\! message.body={0} error.detail={0} error.min.length=The input must be at least {0} characters in length. error.max.length=The input cannot be longer than {0} characters in length. errors.required={0} is required. errors.invalid={0} is invalid. ... </snip> I have log4j setup with log4j.logger.org.apache.struts=DEBUG,A1,A2 and on startup the log4j related output is: 656 DEBUG [main] action.ActionServlet - Initializing module path '' message resources from 'ApplicationResources' 656 INFO [main] util.PropertyMessageResources - Initializing, config='ApplicationResources', returnNull=true I have an Action that forwards to a jsp, the action execute has: <snip> ... if (uri.indexOf("Al") >= 0){ ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages(); messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new ActionMessage("message.body",retStatus)); this.saveMessages(request, messages); } ... </snip> where uri is a string variable of the resource the action is looking at, and retStatus is a string that contains the status of the request. The jsp has near the top if the body tile <snip> <tiles:put name="body" type="string"> <hr align="left" width="800" color="#000000" noshade> <logic:messagesPresent message="true"> <h3><font color="red">Messages:</font></h3> <ul> <html:messages id="msg"> <li><bean:write name="msg" /></li> </html:messages> </ul> </logic:messagesPresent> ...the rest of the body </snip> When I test this setup, when the uri contains 'Al' I get the red "Messages:" as I suspect, but no list of messages under it. When I traverse a resource without the 'Al' in the uri, I do NOT get the red "Messages:". I have verified that xerces and the ApplicationResources are loaded from the Catalina log: 2005-04-06 09:00:02 WebappLoader[/AJDocMan]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar to C:\Java\ArchivedWorkspaces\AJDocMan\WebContent\WEB-INF\lib\struts.jar 2005-04-06 09:00:02 WebappLoader[/AJDocMan]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar to C:\Java\ArchivedWorkspaces\AJDocMan\WebContent\WEB-INF\lib\xercesImpl.ja r 2005-04-06 09:00:03 WebappLoader[/AJDocMan]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/xmlParserAPIs.jar to C:\Java\ArchivedWorkspaces\AJDocMan\WebContent\WEB-INF\lib\xmlParserAPIs .jar 2005-04-06 09:00:03 ContextConfig[/AJDocMan]: Adding path '/WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar' 2005-04-06 09:00:03 ContextConfig[/AJDocMan]: Adding path '/WEB-INF/lib/xmlParserAPIs.jar' 2005-04-06 09:00:07,500 DEBUG [main] action.ActionServlet (ActionServlet.java:1209) - Initializing module path '' message resources from 'ApplicationResources' 2005-04-06 09:00:07,500 INFO [main] util.PropertyMessageResources (PropertyMessageResources.java:127) - Initializing, config='ApplicationResources', returnNull=true These are the xerces-2_6_2 jars from the dist.

If you change your message resources config to null="false" in your struts-config.xml.... <message-resources null="false" parameter="myPackage.ApplicationResources"/> Then if it can't find the message for some reason, you should get the following displayed..... <h3><font color="red"></font>Messages:</h3> <ul> <li> ???en_US.error.detail????</li> </ul> Another cause...do you have the taglib declaration for the html tags at the top of your page? Anyway, what you have looks good, just a matter of debugging which bits of struts are not configured properly.
