I know you mentioned it but I would suggest that the simplest method is to override the simple theme error tag template filederror.ftl and create a base that you're happy with. You then have something that is independent of the core libraries and can easily modify later.
I've had to do this for a number of the simple themed templates and it works well. My only issue is that I'm not a huge fan of freemarker and would prefer to have the templates in jstl or velocity (There's only so much room in my little skull) Z. > Hi, > > Short of modifying the template for s:fielderror is there a way to retrieve > just the text of the error message on a JSP? > > Even with the theme set to simple I get the following on my jsp: > <ul><li><span class="errorMessage">An Error Message</span></li></ul> > > What I want is just the message: > An Error Message > > And then I am free to decorate it as I wish. > > Equally if you think I am taking the wrong approach to this please let me > know.
