I did elaborate in a code snippets. The <html:messages> tag is designed to
have a body, and process it iteratively - in your example it will iterate
over all messages with a property "x" processing the body of the tag for
each message it finds. The reason your code works is by accident - it stores
each message under the page scope variable you specify - it just so happens
that after its finished processing its body the last one still exists -
making your code work (sort of) - but if you removed the
<logic:messagesPresent> tage you would end up with "Msg=" being displayed
when there were no messages. In your code the <html:messages> tag has no
body - in mine id does....
My suggesstion was that you should replace....
<logic:messagesPresent message="true">
<html:messages id="msg" message="true" property="x" />
Msg=<bean:write name="msg" />
</logic:messagesPresent>
With the following.....
<html:messages id="msg" message="true" property="x" >
Msg=<bean:write name="msg" />
</html:messages>
