Is ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE going to be deprecated? I use
org.apache.struts.Globals.MESSAGE_KEY instead.
No!
Read the javadoc -- that constant is not used for the purpose of
locating messages added to an ActionMessages object with no defined
property. Instead, it's used to locate an ActionMessages object in
request or session scope whose contents are of "message" priority for
user display (as opposed to errors, warnings, or any other arbitrary
grouping.)

So the goal of the new attribute on the tags would be to
display/test for only messages stored under the globals key? Which
takes precedence then, name/property or global?
good question. I'd probably give "global" precedence, but really, as
long as it's documented, I don't think it matters. There's also the
matter of describing what [globals="false"] means -- I'd ignore it,
but some might argue that it should throw an exception, or might
argue that the mere question suggests that a different syntax is in
order.
me, I just think someone who's been thinking about trying to
contribute to Struts ought to take this one and run with it :-)
