Working on first Struts2 project, and quickly found out that standard themes can produce some quirky output. (Hoping to write my own when I get some time). I decided to simply use the "simple" theme to give me the most control over HTML formatting. However, it doesn't display field errors from validation. So I tried adding this to jsp where I want the error message to pop up:
<s:property value="fieldErrors.fname"/> ... where "fname" is the field that failed validation. This works, but the error message always gets rendered back wrapped in brackets: [You must enter a first name] Of course, one could write some nasty code to strip out the brackets, but there must be an easier way. Thanks for any help, David
