The problem is that the functionality it's already working except for the validation message part. Also the scenario was just an example it's not the real code from the application.
In my application I have 4 controls Country, State, City and Postal Code and I need to use that four controls on different pages across the application in different JSPs. So for the sake of modularity I thought that using the action approach would work and it does except for the validation messages. > You might be able to configure the action in such a way that the > actionErrors property is filled off the value stack, but ew. I'd like to know how can I put the actionErrors property set to the parent action actionErrors in order to let the messages get rendered properly.

You're rendering a single control; I don't see that you're saving much... I still believe Preparable is a cleaner choice. You might be able to configure the action in such a way that the actionErrors property is filled off the value stack, but ew.
