html:messages ActionMessages Action

[azhar bharat]

I have the following code in my Action:
ActionMessages messages=new ActionMessages();
messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new ActionMessage("general.message",id));
forward=mapping.findForward("Success");
return forward;

And the below code in jsp file to which it is forwarded to:
<html:messages id="msg" message="true">
<bean:write name="msg" />
</html:messages>

But nothing is displayed.

The errors in my actionforms are properly displayed. The problem seems to be with messages from Action class.

What is wrong ?

Did you do the following in your Action class?

saveMessages(request, messages);

If not, that's the problem.

this worked fine
saveMessages(request.getSession(), messages);

The saveMessages() method gives you the choice of putting your messages in either session scope or request scope.
