Thanks Steve,
That's what I'm doing when I implement my own custom validation routines, but what
about the standard Struts validation rules (which are implemented declaratively), so
you don't explicitly create any ActionError objects??
For example, we might have a validation.xml snippet like:-
<form name="addRecipientForm">
<field property="email" depends="required, email">
<arg0 key="admin.email.user"/>
</field>
</form>
which checks for a mandatory well formatted mail address. If you enter "abc", Struts
generates an ActionError object containing:-
"Recipient's email address is an invalid e-mail address"
(providing you have the following resources....
admin.email.pdf=Recipient's email address
errors.email={0} is an invalid e-mail address.
)
So I don't specifically create any ActionError objects ..... Is there no way I can
declaratively (ie. in the validation.xml) inform the rule that I'd like the submitted
value inserted rather than a textual string from the AppResources?
Hope that explains the problem a little better....
Cheers,
Scott.

in the resource file where the error message is defined use {0} to
parametize it.
eg
address.invalid=Address {0} is not a valid email address.
When you construct the actionError add the parameter to the constructor ie.
new ActionError("address.invalid", address)

I might be missing something obvious here, but is there an easy way to get
the submitted value to become part of the your error message?
So, for example, if the user enters "abc" in an email field, I'd like a
message saying :-
Address "abc" is not a valid email address.
I can get this behaviour when I write my own custom validation routines, but
what about the base Struts validation rules ... can they be configured to
display the entered value, as opposed to a string from the AppResources
bindle?
Cheers,
Scott.
