Place message in jsp from action?

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,
 
After I complete a successful Action, and I forward to my jsp page, I would 
like to display a status ... something like "New User Added".
 
Something that operates like the ActionErrors object. I tried doing this in my 
Action class:
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
      // Get access to the message resources for this application
      // There's not an easy way to access the resources from an ActionForm
      MessageResources resources =
        (MessageResources)request.getAttribute( Action.MESSAGES_KEY );
      // Check and see if the access number is missing
      ActionError newError = new ActionError("global.error.database.problem");
      errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, newError);
 
And then tried to pull the error out (just like an form error), but the error 
never shows? 
<html:errors />
 
I figured I am missing something, or possibly there is a better way to handle 
this?
 
Thanks,
Scott
