The fact that you are getting 2 messages makes sense as you are running validation against both the fields. It does not matter if the arg key is the same. That would just pick the same message from your properties file twice.
You could try using the validWhen validator and accociating that validation with only one of the fields. Also, instead of using an arg element in validator.xml, use an msg element to specify whatever message you want to specify. Or you could write your own validator, which is a bit much in this case. I have pretty much the same thing at work here and I just use validWhen.

My requirements is - I need to display a standard error message when both the fields are empty or when either of the field is empty. - I need to display a different error message when both the the fields are filled but username-pwd do not match. In validation.xml I declared two field properties each for username and password with the same msg key but the problem is that when the form is submitted with both the fields empty then the same error msg appears twice. How to rectify this situation. Any kind of help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
