Jerald,
The first parameter to ActionMessages.add() is a string interpreted to be
either ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE or a name of one of your form fields.
If you had a field on your form that was named (i.e. property=...)
"username", then if you wished to add a message pertaining to this field,
then you would write: messages.add("username", errorMsg). You're not
getting any messages displayed probably because you don't have a form field
with property="init_message."
Cheers,
Noel

Hi Noel,
Thanks for that. Since that post, I have opted for constructing an
ActionMessages object and populating it with ActionMessage (s). This being
because I hear ActionError/s are deprecated as of Struts 1.2.
I have set up the Application.properties file under
WEB-INF/classes/resources containing:
initialisation.error=Initialisation error - invalid UserID
I catch the exception thus:
ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages();
ActionMessage errorMsg = new
ActionMessage("initialisation.error");
messages.add("init_message", errorMsg);
saveMessages(request, messages);
and forward off to the error page, but nothing is rendered.
Any idea here? Perhaps something to do with the init_message string I am
passing? What does that represent?
appreciated
G.
Hi Jerald,
The single-string ActionError class constructor that you are invoking
interprets the parameter passed to it as a key of a message string defined
in your Application.properties file (this file is usually placed under the
classes/resources directory).

Hello,
I am handling my errors and constructing an errors object thus:
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new
ActionError("Initialisation error - userID not found"));
saveErrors(request, errors);
return mapping.findForward(FORWARD_error);
how from the JSP do I iterate over the errors object and retrieve the
messages please? I have tried but nothing was rendered to the
screen?
thanks
G
