Here's what I've done: <s:textfield name="company"/> <s:property value="fieldErrors['company'][0]"/>
IMO, <s:fielderror> should detect when there's only one error and emit no <li> tags. I've entered an issue in JIRA for this: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2090 On a related note, looking at the docs, it looks like you're required to use <s:param> to specify the field name. Is this true, or can "name" be used for that?
