messages 101

[Travis Stevens]

I can't seem to get messages to work.  My action code has this line of code:

//create a message
ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages();
messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new 
ActionMessage("record.save.success",new Integer(record.getUID())));
this.saveMessages(request,messages);

//log it
if (log.isInfoEnabled()){
     log.info("Record saved successfully:" + record.getUID());
}
and my view has this:
<html:messages id="error">
  <bean:write name="error"/><br />
</html:messages>
and my struts-config has:
<message-resources parameter="gov.noaa.mm.NMMRResources"/>
Nothing prints out in my view.  What am I missing here?  The log message 
"Record saved successfully" shows up, so I know that the messages are 
being saved.  My ActionErrors work fine so I know my message-resources 
are being used properly.

The javadoc for Action.saveMessages() reads:
Save the specified messages keys into the appropriate request attribute 
for use by the <html:messages> tag (if messages="true" is set), if any 
messages are required.

Is this my problem?  Do I have to set messages to "true".  Where do I 
set messages="true"?

thanks,
-Trav
