The "bundle" attribute in Commons Validator (i.e. in your validation.xml) is not supported in the current release of Struts (Version 1.2.4) which is why it isn't finding your <arg> values. This has now been implemented in the latest Struts version (version 1.2.7) which I announced today:
http://www.mail-archive.com/user%40struts.apache.org/msg26228.html In that version there are a couple of pages in the struts-examples webapp showing use of alternative message resource bundles. Also I posted some stuff recently here about this: http://www.niallp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/HelpTagsErrorsAndMessages.html#section7_2 Having said all that, looks like you're doing everything right - except you need Version 1.2.7 (and Validator 1.1.4) Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allistair Crossley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 4:51 PM Some more information; my message resources were declared as follows <message-resources key="MYRESOURCES" null="false" parameter="com.qas.newmedia.internet.core.ApplicationResources" /> Note the use of a key on the bundle. In my JSP output of the errors I used <logic:messagesPresent> <ul> <html:messages id="error" bundle="MYRESOURCES"> <li><bean:write name="error" /></li> </html:messages> </ul> </logic:messagesPresent> Interestingly, then, when I remove the key from message-resources AND remove the bundle instruction from the html:messages tag, the whole thing works. I have to say, the whole struts validator stuff is a little unclear from the documentation. The distinction between ActionMessages and ActionErrors and when to use html:errors and html:messages is not clear. Furthermore, the use of bundle on html:messages DOES work when you wish to use bean:message or indeed, just iterating over ActionMessages that were not linked to validator. Some clarification on the matter would be appreciated, Allistair > -----Original Message----- > From: Allistair Crossley > Sent: 06 May 2005 16:12 > To: user@struts.apache.org > Subject: Validator not plugging in keyed values > > > Hello Again, > > Having a spot of bother with validating an ActionForm.

So that's fine. I save the errors container using > saveErrors(request, errors) and back in the JSP: > > <logic:messagesPresent> > <ul> > <html:messages bundle="core" id="error"> > <li><bean:write name="error" /></li> > </html:messages> > </ul> > </logic:messagesPresent> > > This, too, works to some extent.
