Some more information; my message resources were declared as follows
<message-resources key="MYRESOURCES" null="false"
parameter="com.qas.newmedia.internet.core.ApplicationResources" />
Note the use of a key on the bundle. In my JSP output of the errors I used
<logic:messagesPresent>
<ul>
<html:messages id="error" bundle="MYRESOURCES">
<li><bean:write name="error" /></li>
</html:messages>
</ul>
</logic:messagesPresent>
Interestingly, then, when I remove the key from message-resources AND remove
the bundle instruction from the html:messages tag, the whole thing works.
I have to say, the whole struts validator stuff is a little unclear from the
documentation. The distinction between ActionMessages and ActionErrors and when
to use html:errors and html:messages is not clear.
Furthermore, the use of bundle on html:messages DOES work when you wish to use
bean:message or indeed, just iterating over ActionMessages that were not linked
to validator.
Some clarification on the matter would be appreciated,
