You can do this.... 1) create an ActionMessages object and populate it with the ActionMessage you wish to show.
2) in the jsp include the following snippet: <logic:messagesPresent message="true"> <div class="message"> <html:messages id="message" message="true"> ${message}<br/> </html:messages> </div> </logic:messagesPresent> You can of course format that however you want.

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?
