It turned out that I was using an old version of struts that did not include the Messages tag in the struts-html.tld. I was able to pull the latest release down and that helped to get the messages piece working.
Thanks for the help!

I think what I was looking for and what might help Brian is: This queues two error messages, one for the "username" field and another for the "password" field. To print all the messages together, simply place the error tag anywhere in your JSP. <body bgcolor="white"> <html:errors/> Or, you can place specific error messages at different locations <td align="left"> <html:text property="username" size="16" maxlength="16"/> <html:errors property="username"/> </td> </tr><tr> <td align="left"> <html:text property="password" size="16" maxlength="16"/> <html:errors property="password"/> </td> > -----Original Message----- > From: Christophe Marchand [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 10:03 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: How to customize the way Validation Error is display > > I think you can use a factory for this.
