struts validations
Hi
when am using the srtuts validator form(twin xml files) for my validations, the error messages which gets displayed like(email id not valid) is taken from the .properties file which i use..
but in the above messsage.. email id is hardcoded in the validation.xml..(<arg0 key=email id>)
Instead i want whatever i type to be captured and say for instance.. abcd not valid. usually we get the values from request object and capture the user input.. when am using struts how to do this? please help

IF I understand you correctly (and I am not sure I do) construct your error message (in your properties file) using replacement strings, as "{0} not valid". Then use the ActionMessage constructor that takes a key and a String so you say something like:ActionMessage error = new ActionMessage(key, "abc");
As an aside - why did you choose this forum to post this question in?
Good Luck

Your validate method is inside your ActionForm class, which has access to all the current field values. Assuming the field that you are validating is called "someFormInput" then you would say something like:ActionMessage error = new ActionMessage(key, this.getSomeFormInput());
