Did you try my suggestion - I believe that will do exactly what you want -
you seem to be getting confused between the key used to store the
ActionErrors in the request (global error key) and the property under which
a message is stored in the ActionErrors.
The validwhen example in the struts-examples does exactly what you say (show
error messages next to their respective form fields) - so you could take a
look at that (struts-examples.war in the binary distro):

I think if you make the change I suggested it will do what you want - maybe
its worth a try?

That's not the issue, it is actually doing that, via a resource bundle
lookup (I only have one configured). I want to be able to retrieve the
error on the jsp side by getting the key via the resource bundle
similar to the way it is being added, instead of just using the value
that is referenced in the resource bundle.
The field label is being printed via a message bundle lookup (using
bean:message tag), and the error for that field is stored using that
same key.
I want to retrieve the error not by the discrete value "password", but
by a key lookup to the message bundle that produces the value
"password".
