I second the don't let it kill your opinion. I've had lots of issues in this area, but it was always something I was doing wrong and once it was fixed it was rock solid
I think I got the nulls once before. I am not that familiar with the 1.0x series, so this may not work under that. Try adding: The null="false" to your message-resource like so: <message-resources parameter="applicationresources" null="false"/> When you run it see if you get ??keyname.thingee?? on screen.

I tried adding the errors.footer, errors.header keys but, unfortunately, it didn't work. (BTW, yes I did bounce Tomcat each time and verify in the log file that the properties file was correctly loaded) PLEASE, anyone who can give further help. I'm getting deperately frustrated and frustratingly desperate. It seems like such a simple thing, but fraught with so many problems. I tried the following variations (complete contents of properties file): VARIATION 1: errors.footer=</ul><hr> errors.header=<h3><font color="red">Validation Error</font></h3>You must correct the following error (s) before proceeding:<ul> error.applname.required=<li>Application Name is required</li> error.appldesc.required=there is nothing here VARIATION 2: errors.header= errors.footer= error.applname.required=<li>Application Name is required</li> error.appldesc.required=there is nothing here VARIATION 3: error.applname.required=<li>Application Name is required</li> error.appldesc.required=there is nothing here errors.header= errors.footer= I have also been using GLOBAL_ERROR instead of a property name, since these errors should appear at the top of the page and not associated with any field: errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError("error.applname.required")); "Kamholz, Keith (corp-staff) USX" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 08/13/2002 11:28:29 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: (bcc: Joseph Sadove/DKBDS USA/DKB) Subject: RE: nulls (and only nulls) in <html:errors/> Do you have errors.header and errors.footer defined in your properties file? ~ Keith http://www.buffalo.edu/~kkamholz -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 11:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: nulls (and only nulls) in <html:errors/> I am running 1.02 of Struts on Tomcat 4.04. I get nulls returned to my JSP when trying to set errors in an ActionForm. I have scoured the mailing lists and have found lots of people getting nulls on either side of the error strings (apparently a Weblogic thing) and there are people getting nothing, seemingly no one getting the string "null". I will be vastly grateful to anyone who can help. (Until this problem, I have thought struts --with Arron Bates nested extensions-- were right up there next to sliced bread. Please help me preserve the glow!) I've appended below all the useful bits of code, I think. Here are the contents of ApplicationResources.properties file: error.applname.required=<li>Application Name is required</li> error.appldesc.required=there is nothing here Here are the relevant parts of the struts config file: BEGIN CODE <!-- bean definition --> <form-beans> <form-bean name="NewApplicationBean" type="dkb.irmis.struts.beans.NewApplicationBean" /> .... </form-beans> <!-- forwards --> ... </global-forwards> <!-- actions --> <action-mappings> .... <action path="/NewApp" type="dkb.irmis.struts.actions.NewAppAction" name="NewApplicationBean" input="/new_application.jsp" scope="session"> <forward name="newappform" path="/new_application.jsp"/> </action> .... </action-mappings> </struts-config> END CODE And here is the validate method: BEGIN CODE public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) { ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); if (addApplications.equals("ADD Applications") ) { addApplications = "RESET Values"; for (int i = 0; i < applicationList.size(); i++) { if ( ((NewApplicationObj)applicationList.get(i)).getApplicationDesc().length( ) > 0 ) { if( ((NewApplicationObj)applicationList.get(i)).getApplicationName() == null || ((NewApplicationObj)applicationList.get(i)).getApplicationName().length( ) < 1 ) { errors.add("applname", new ActionError("error.applname.required") ); } } } } if ( errors.empty() ) { return null; } return errors; } // end validate END CODE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
