My form uses the Struts validator. One of its fields is 'required' and I
want the error message to show up alongside the field when the form is
redisplayed. There may also be general errors and I want these to be listed
at the top of the page. Problem is, the field specific error (created by
the validator framework) gets displayed alongside the field (correctly) AND
as a general error at the top of the page! I don't understand this; the
error message must be associated with a field property otherwise it wouldn't
show up alongside the field, so why is it also being treated as a general
error?
The relevant snippets from my code are below.
Any help gratefully received.
