You can also do the same kind of thing that Chris suggests with Struts tags:
For your global message, uses the "messagesPresent" tag to detect if
there are errors and then output the appropriate message:
<logic:messagesPresent>
<bean:message key="error.title.some-fields-are-bad" />
</logic:messagesPresent>
For your field specific messages, you can use either the
<html:messages> or <html:errors> tags to position messages next to
their fields

How about putting something like this in your JSP (haven't worked with
JSP in forever, but this ought to get the point across):
<jstl:if test="$errors">
<p class="error">
<struts:msg key="error.title.some-fields-are-bad" />
</p>
</jstl:if>

Umm...
<jstl:if test="$errors.form-field-1">
<jstl:echo value="$errors.form-field-1" />
</jstl:if>
<label for="form-field-1">Field</label>
<input id="form-field-1" name="form-field-1" ... />
etc.
Does that help?
