Seem to be finding my own answers:
Since I did not find any clear answers in the archives, here is the procedure of doing
this
1. Define the Resource bundle in the struts-config.xml file. If you have a resource
bundle by name
FormErrorResources.properties, then define it as follows:
<message-resources parameter="com.myDomain.FormErrorResources" />
Note:
a. The resource bundle is expected to have the extension ".properties" . If you
do not have this it will not work
b. The path to the resource file uses the java package naming convention. So in
the above example, it
implies that the resource bundle resides in the WEB-INF/classes/com/myDomain/
folder.
So if you have the resource bundle in the classes folder your parameter value
should be just your
resource bundle file name minus the .properties extension
2. If you want to check you have successfully configured it, try the following:
MessageResource msgRes = servlet.getResources();
servlet.log (msgRes.getMessage ("key");
This will log the message corresponding to the key in your log file if you are
using Tomcat.

Subject: Using a resource file for managing Form errors
Problem:
------------
I am trying to use a separate resource file for managing errors coming out of the form
validation
in an ActionForm. How do I access this resource file? This is a second resource file
defined in my
struts-config.xml file.
Steps taken so far:
-------------------------
1. Defined a Message Resource in the struts-config.xml file as follows:
<message-resources parameter="com.myDomain.RegistrationFormResources" />
2. Dont have a clue how to utilize this in the ActionForm's Validate method. Tried
doing this..
if ((addressLine_1 == null) || (addressLine_1.length() < 1))
errors.add("addressLine_1", new
ActionError("error.RegistrationForm.addressLine_1.required"));
I checked the archives for finding out the answers, but could not find any.
