You can put an entry in the property files like this:
error.message=Error {0}
or
error.message={0}
and then you can do something like this:
...new ActionError("error.message", e.getMessage())...
or whatever it is that allows you to pass substitution arguments to a
message.

Craig,
Thanks for your reply. I have tested the code in the logonAction
class it does work. However, it only works when you use a "key" in the
properties file. If I have this code in a "catch" statement, how can I use
the actual error message with the "getMessage()" method of the exception
class? Any ideas on how to get around this?
Thanks

The Struts example application does something very similar to this in
LogonAction -- since that is where an invalid username/pasword combination
is detected. I think this is a reasonable design approach.
