Tom,
you may want to try with the following:
<table>
<logic:messagesPresent message="true">
<tr>
<html:messages id="message" message="true">
<td><bean:write name="message"/></td>
</html:messages>
</tr>
</logic:messagesPresent>
</table>
Please note the message="true" attribute in html:messages. Without that, the
tag looks for ActionErrors (under a different key) and not ActionMessages.
