After investigating the PasswordExpiredException, I'm a little confused.
This class uses the following code:
    
<code>
    public ExpiredPasswordException(String username) {
        super("error.password.expired", username);
    }
</code>

But there is no key "error.password.expired" in
ApplicationResources.properties.  In struts-config.xml there is 

<exception key="expired.password"
type="org.apache.struts.webapp.example.ExpiredPasswordException"
path="/changePassword.jsp"/>

And I found an "expired.password" key, but this is never used. How are
each designed to be used - simply for logging?  There are no messages
that show up in the log for either of these.

Here's how I would expect these to be used.

1.  If no key is specified in struts-config, then the key
"error.password.expired" would be used.
2.  This message would be attainable with the following JSP code:

<%-- Error Messages --%>
<logic:messagesPresent>
        <html:messages id="error">
            <bean:write name="error"/><br/>
        </html:messages>
</logic:messagesPresent>

Is this correct?  Also, is it possible to have a separate .properties
file for Exception messages?

This stuff is great, as well as the rest of Struts - awesome to work
with this stuff.  You all do an awesome job - makes my life a lot
easier.
