Hi all,
we're using struts 1.2.4 in our project and we have 3 types of messages to
show the user:
1) Confirmational, with say a green tick mark,
2) Informational, with a classic i in a bubble
3) Error messages, with the classes red rectangle.
Currently I use saveErrors and saveMessages in my actions but that gives me
only 2 kinds of messages;
errors and all others. Is there a way to add a 3rd type? I think I should do
it by
errors.add("My.Custom.Identifier", ....);
but I'm not sure.
Well, this is the right thing to do :-)
In fact, saveErrors and saveMessages put the messages using special keys:
Globals.ERROR_KEY:
http://struts.apache.org/1.2.4/api/org/apache/struts/Globals.html#ERROR_KEY
Globals.MESSAGE_KEY:
http://struts.apache.org/1.2.4/api/org/apache/struts/Globals.html#MESSAGE_KEY
HTH

Ok, I've succeeded, but in trying to have a uniform method for all
messages I lost struts validator's errors.
For example, in the action:
ActionMessages msg = new ActionMessages();
msg.add(MyConstants.MESSAGE_CONFIRM, new
ActionMessage("prompt.OK"));
msg.add(MyConstants.MESSAGE_INFO, new
ActionMessage("prompt.modify"));
msg.add(MyConstants.MESSAGE_ERROR, new
ActionMessage("prompt.close"));
saveMessages(request, msg);
then in the jsp, we have a tile to show all messages, regardless of
where they come from:
<logic:messagesPresent message="true"
property="<%=MyConstants.MESSAGE_CONFIRM%>">
<div id="Message" class="Success">
<%--<p><strong>Your changes have been accepted</strong>.</p>--%>
<html:messages id="msg" message="true"
property="<%=MyConstants.MESSAGE_CONFIRM%>">
<p>
<bean:write name="msg" />
</p>
</html:messages>
<p class="Buttons">
<button id="MClose" type="submit"><bean:message
key="prompt.close" /></button>
</p>
</div><!-- Message // -->
</logic:messagesPresent>
<%-- Informational Messages --%>
<logic:messagesPresent message="true"
property="<%=MyConstants.MESSAGE_INFO%>">
<div id="Message" class="Info">
<html:messages id="msg" message="true"
property="<%=MyConstants.MESSAGE_INFO%>">
<p><bean:write name="msg" /></p>
</html:messages>
<p class="Buttons">
<button id="MClose" type="submit"><bean:message
key="prompt.close" /></button>
</p>
</div><!-- Message // -->
</logic:messagesPresent>
<%-- Error messages --%>
<logic:messagesPresent message="true"
property="<%=MyConstants.MESSAGE_ERROR%>">
<div id="Message" class="Error">
<p><strong><bean:message key="error.occured" />:</strong></p>
<ul>
<html:messages id="msg" message="true"
property="<%=MyConstants.MESSAGE_ERROR%>">
<li>
<bean:write name="msg" />
</li>
</html:messages>
<%--
<li><a href="#FName">First name</a> is required.</li>
<li><a href="#LName">Last name</a> is required.</li>
--%>
</ul>
<p class="Buttons">
<button id="MClose" type="submit"><bean:message
key="prompt.close" /></button>
</p>
</div><!-- Message // -->
</logic:messagesPresent>
But by using this method, the errors that validator adds, are not
displayed, because they're save under Globals.ERROR_KEY.
Is there a way to tell validator to save its errors as a message under
my own custom key? Again I point out that the only reason
I want this is to have a uniform way of dealing with messages, not
having to use saveErrors. But if this is not correct I guess I'll
revert into using saveErrors. Any suggestions?

Dimitris
