Hi, I can't get the relevant error message from the resources file to display when an exception is thrown.
Can you please help? Here is the scenario: One of my Action classes, AuthenticateAction, can generate the same type of application-specific exception (TrcDatabaseException) at various points in its code. I want to display error-specific information for each place where the TrcDatabaseException can be thrown in the AuthenticateAction. Wherever an exception is thrown in AuthenticateAction, I add some code in the catch block, before rethrowing it, for example like this: } catch(TrcDatabaseException ex){ /* add relevant action errors */ ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); errors.add(ActionErors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError("errors.database.noconnection")); saveErrors(request, errors); /* rethrow the exception to be caught by Struts declarative exception handling mechanism */ throw ex; } I have also placed an errors.database.noconnection in the resource file. In the struts-config file, for the AuthenticateAction, I have defined an exception element: <exception key="errors.generalmessage" type="mydomain.exception.TrcDatabaseException" path="/common/exceptionTrcDatabase.jsp" /> I have created a JSP, exceptionTrcDatabase.jsp, that contains this element: <html:errors/> However, whenever I test this code (by deliberately creating the relevant error conditions), only the errors.generalmessage is displayed. Why isn't the errors.database.noconnection being displayed as well?
