I stand corrected and informed. Now that you mention it, I remember looking into this before. I wish the Struts Users Guide HTML tag API made the difference a little more obvious in the description. I'm not saying the documentation is incorrect, just that the quick skim I did before I sent my email didn't make the difference clear. It didn't help that the doc for :errors only mentions displaying an ActionErrors object whereas the :messages one references ActionMessages and ActionErrors.
Good point! If you could put a ticket in Bugzilla, hopefully your point won't be forgotten. If you wanted to provide proposed alternative text, so much the better...

Perhaps you should be using <h:errors> to display your error messages instead of <h:messages>
I think it depends on if you use saveErrors or saveMessages in your Action.
This is NOT true.
The differences between the h:errors tag and the h:messages tag are functional, but both can be used to iterate through any instance of ActionMessages, and both default to using the ActionMessages saved as a result of calling "saveErrors".
