getting messages from MessageResources file

[sirisha kukunuri]

Hi All,
I have created a small struts application.That application is working well accept error messages from Message Resources file are not appearing in my jsp page.
Here are details about my application

My resource file is in
.../WEB-INF/src/resources/LoginResource.properties
and in
.../WEB-INF/classes/resources/LoginResource.properties

My struts-config.xml entry is

<message-resources parameter="resources.LoginResource" null="false" />

Validate method in ActionForm is

public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping actionMapping, HttpServletRequest request) { 
System.out.println("Now I am validating inputs"); 
ActionErrors errors=new ActionErrors(); 
if(username==null || username.equals(""))
 {
 System.out.println("@@@@@username not provided@@@@@"); errors.add("username", new ActionMessage("error.username.required"));
 } 
if(password1==null || password1.equals(""))
 {
 System.out.println("@@@@@password not provided@@@@@"); errors.add("password1", new ActionMessage("error.password1.required")); 
}
 if(password2==null || password2.equals("")) 
{
 System.out.println("@@@@@password not provided@@@@@"); errors.add("password2", new ActionMessage("error.password2.required")); 
}
 return errors;
 }
 

JSP code through which i am trying to print error messges is

<font size="4" color="red" face="times new roman"> <html:errors/> </font>

And my message resources file is

error.username.required="Please enter your UserName." error.password1.required="Please enter your Password." error.password2.required="Please re-enter your Password."

When i am trying to run this application,messages are not displaying and i am not getting any errors.

For testing i inserted in println statements in validate method.Those print statements are also not displaying in console.
So i think control is not able to reach validate method.
Do i need to add anything to Web.xml file to use message resources file?
Can any body please tell me solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Kukunuri.

I'm a little rusty on it, but does your action form need to extend ValidatorForm?
