> The deprecation is for the nightly build/Struts 1.2distribution. If you're using 1.1 (like I am), there's no saveErrors(request, actionMessages) just yet.
Then there's no point in converting any ActionError or ActionErrors usage to ActionMessage or ActionMessages yet, since you can't send it to the JSP page in such a way that the <html:messages > tag can find the error messages.
Sounds like I've been wasting my time.
ActionErrors extends ActionMessages, even in Struts 1.1
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/jakarta-struts/src/share/org/apache/struts/action/ActionErrors.java?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.11
Clearly there's a lot of confusion around this, but the idea behind the naming was that everything "messages" is a new, more generalized approach to everything which was "errors" -- the classes in o.a.s.action and the tag library classes. Since ActionMessages was created as a super class of ActionErrors, backwards compatibility should be complete.
html:messages by default looks for the object stored under the *Errors* key as another piece of trying to make all this backwards compatible. This probably adds a bit of confusion as well, unfortunately.
I doubt you've been wasting your time, although I'll admit that it's been a few months since I was using a pure 1.1 release, and there may be something I've forgotten.
