ActionMessages & logic:messagesPresent

[Alessandro Ilardo]

Hi there,
I can't display any error on the jsp. On a DispatchAction class I've the following method invoked by catch statements

private void reportException(HttpServletRequest request, ApplicationExceptionImpl ex){
        ActionMessages errors = new ActionErrors();
        ActionMessage msg = null;
        //define the user error and save it back
        if(ex instanceof EmailApplicationException) msg = new ActionMessage("errors.app", "Email");
        if(ex instanceof UsernameApplicationException) msg = new ActionMessage("errors.app","Username");
        if(ex instanceof PasswordApplicationException) msg = new ActionMessage("errors.app","Password");
        
        if(msg!=null) {
            logger.debug("[reportException] save the message.");
            errors.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE,msg);
        }
        saveErrors(request,errors);
    }

and on my jsp

<logic:messagesPresent message="true">
  <html:messages id="msg" message="true">
      <bean:write name="msg"/> <br/>
  </html:messages>
</logic:messagesPresent>

The logger correctly display my message but I still can't see anything.
Any suggestions?

When iterating over messages saved with saveErrors(...), the message attribute of the logic:messagesPresent and html:messages tags should be false.

If this attribute is true the tags will iterate over the messages saved with saveMessages(...).

you could also just use the following tag:

<html:errors/>
