Another important difference between ActionMessages and ActionErrors has to do with how the Validation interceptor works.

If you add an ActionError in the 'validate' method (or before the ValidationInterceptor get ahold of the request) of a ValidationAware action, the interceptor will see that there is some kind of error, and consequently, not fire the intended action method (execute by default). ActionMessages do not act that way. You can add ActionMessages without having an affect on the workflow of the action.

Here it goes, without testing. I think that the HTML generated is slightly
different so that you
may apply different CSS style sheets to it.
