ActionError without using message resource?

[Mike Bell <be...@dsg-inc.com>]

Hello,

Is it possible to create an ActionError without using a message resource?
At this time we don't really have a need for a message resource and would
like to just put the error message string directly in the call.

like:

    ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); 
    errors.add("name", new ActionError("The Error String"));

You can certainly construct an ActionErrors collection based on using
the actual strings, but you will not be able to use the <html:errors/>
tag to display them -- you would need to build your own mechanism for
this, perhaps by subclassing the ErrorsTag class to operate slightly
differently.

Good question.  Is the use of ActionError and the properties file
coupled?  Or can you code your errors in-line?
