One possibility would be to create a forward (local or global) for the Action you wish to link, and then, when you save ActionMessages, create the link, and then pass it as a parametric replacement to the message.
1) in struts-config.xml, create a forward that maps to the action link you want in your message, e.g. <forward name="appRegisterLoginForward" path="/appRegisterLogin.do"/>. 2) Set your message to have another replacement, like: auditapp.login.duplicate.user.error=A user with email address: {0} already exists. If that is your email address, please use that email address as your <a href="{1}">login</a> along with the password you were supplied. 3) In your Action, obtain the path of the forward, get its path, and place it in the message. Using your code as a basis: catch(DuplicateUserException dupEx){ log.error("Caught DuplicateUserException in execute.... of AuditAppRegistrationAction"); // This is the link created from the forward you defined in step 1 String replacementLink = mapping.findForward("appRegisterLoginForward").getPath(); super.saveMessage(request, "auditapp.login.duplicate.user.error", (String)f.get("email"), replacementLink); return mapping.getInputForward(); } This way, the creation and rewriting of the link itself is handled by normal struts mechanisms, and you can manage the links in your struts-config.xml file.
