With Struts 1.1, we have support for both error messages and non-error
messages. We use saveMessages() for non-error and saveErrors() for error
messages. In our JSPs, we can use the <html:messages> tag to display them:
<html:messages id="message" message="true">
<bean:write name="message"/><br>
</html:messages>
<html:messages id="error" message="false">
<bean:write name="error"/><br>
</html:messages>
The <html:messages> tag gives <bean:write> access to the individual messages
(you can specify a property name for more specific messages). To
differentiate error and non-error messages, you set the "message" attribute.
It defaults to false (IIRC), so <html:messages id="error"> ...
</html:messages> will iterate through the error messages.
Hope that didn't get you even more confused. =)
