I want to be able to have a set of errors returned to an input page such that I can spit out an error of a particular TYPE next to a particular input, to indicate something in particular was wrong with this particular field.  I'm a bit lost on how to accomplish this.
 
Take your typical login screen consisting of user name and password.  If the login fails, I want the screen to be redrawn with errors that pertain to the user name field next to the user name field, and the errors associated with the password next to the password field.

(Ignoring formatting), if my login screen looked like:
 
---------------------------------------------------------------
Login: ___________________
Password: _____________
---------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
...and I typed in "foo9" in user name and nothing in password and given some contrived validation rules which will be obvious from the example below, I want something like the following to be shown:
 
---------------------------------------------------------------
Login: ____foo9____
* The user name must be over 8 characters long
* The user name must only consist of alphabetic characters.
 
Password:  _________________
* The password was left blank, it must be provided.
---------------------------------------------------------------
 
Figuring out all these conditions, constructing the ActionError class with the ApplicationResources.properties key and adding the ActionErrors to the request is pretty simple, but I'm lost on the "how to assign an error to a particular input field" concept.
 
Is this covered in the example?
 
Thanks.
