<msg name="required" key="request.page" />
You may also need to specify a bundle and resource attribute, but I don't think so in your case.
The error message you are seeing (null is required) is from the default error message. When you use the default error message, you need to specify replacement values for the error message template. If you look in your application.properties, you should have a bunch of errors.XXXX lines, for each standard validator. For example, you should have a line like:
errors.required={0} is required.for the required validator. The {0} is what needs a replacement. To define it in your validator, you use:
<arg0 key="request.page" /> OR (for struts 1.2.x) <arg key="requst.page" position="0" />
In these cases though, request.page should be defined in application.properties as:
request.page=Page
then, when the error prints, it will print as "Page is required."
For me at least, this is a lot more handy than using <msg>, because you can use the same label to print out the prompt and the error message.
Hopefully I explained this well enough...

I use the validation.xml to validate the properties in my form bean. The validation works; but, the error messages do not work as I expected.
While I have customized error messages prepared, the error message displayed in the browser window for my intentional violation are like: . null is required . null is required
I also wonder how to show error messages if there are more than one validation check for a certain property. For example, depends="required,mask".
For example, in my validation.xml, I have: [CODE] <form name="editTitleForm"> <field property="document" depends="required"> <msg key="request.page"/> </field> <field property="title" depends="required"> <msg key="insert.title"/> </field> </form> [/CODE]
In my web.xml, I have: [CODE] <init-param> <param-name>application</param-name> <param-value>resources.application</param-value> </init-param> [/CODE]
and the application.properties file is in the C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps\AppName\WEB-INF\classes\resources directory.
In the application.properties, I have:
[CODE] request.page=The requested page is not provided. insert.tile=The title of the requested page must not be left blank. [/CODE]
