Did you call saveErrors() or saveMessages() in your Action to save the messages into the (request) scope for use in the JSP?

Thanks for helping me. -----Original Message----- From: David G. Friedman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 12:56 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Newbie <html:errors/> never displays errors Nadia, The bean:write's name attribute must match the id parameter of the html:messages tag. That's why I suggested your html:messages tag be: <html:messages id="error" name="countryName"> This means it should pull the errors from the area "countryName" and present them for the bean:write tag to use as the name "error" (see id=".."). Have you tried this yet?

Friedman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 12:35 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Newbie <html:errors/> never displays errors Please show your JSP code. I think this should have worked: <logic:messagesPresent> <ul> <html:messages id="error" name="countryName"> <li><bean:write name="error"/></li> </html:messages> </ul> </logic:messagesPresent> Remember, the "id" is essentially the key you give to the bean:write but the name="" attribute is what messages key to retrieve. That name="" attribute defaults to the global errors word if you don't specify anything else. Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Nadia Kunkov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 12:31 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Newbie <html:errors/> never displays errors Thanks Did that and specified the write bean name this time. <li><bean:write name="countryName"/></li> Now I get an error that bean countryName doesn't exist in any scope. I get a feeling it's something with my message resources. How can I see that the following line works. errors.add("countryName", new ActionError("errors.required","Country Name")); Thanks Nadia -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 11:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Newbie <html:errors/> never displays errors Hi Nadia, Use this to write your message : <logic:messagesPresent> <ul> <html:messages id="error"> <li><bean:write name="error"/></li> </html:messages> </ul> </logic:messagesPresent> <bean:write> will write error message who are call in your validate method and <logic:messagesPresent> will check if these message are present.

I just need another pair of eyes to look at this, I'm probably missing something. I can't display errors on the page. I know that I go through the validate method and it finds errors because I'm not moving to the next page when I do a submit. If I have an error I want to stay on the same page and let the user resubmit. I do stay on the same page but under the form I want error messages to be displayed and they are never there. Please take a look below. I have this in my MyAppResources.properties which resides in /WEB-INF/classes directory errors.required={0} is required. in my struts-config.xml I have validate="true" and also <message-resources parameter="MyAppResources" null="false"/> In my ActionForm I have the following in the Validate method: public ActionErrors validate (ActionMapping actionMapping, HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest) { ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); if (getCountryName() == null || getCountryName().length() < 1) { errors.add("countryName", new ActionError("errors.required","Country Name")); } if (getCountryCapital() == null || getCountryCapital().length() < 1) { errors.add("countryCapital", new ActionError("errors.required","Country Capital")); } return errors; } In my jsp file I have the following .....some stuff...... <form:submit property="method" value="Add"></form:submit> </form:form> <html:errors/> </body> </html:html> Thanks for your help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
