Bug in html:errors and html:messages? Problem with printing errors.

["Wellie W. Chao" <wc...@caraveltech.com>]

I am having some weird problems with the html:errors and html:messages tags
in struts-html from the 1.1-b1 version. I am certain the Request object has
an attribute named "org.apache.struts.action.ERROR" because I have printed
out all attributes in the Request object on the page footer. Also, the
"org.apache.struts.action.ERROR" object (an instance of ActionErrors) has
two ActionError instances: one that maps to
error.registerForm.username.required and another that maps to
error.registerForm.email.required. Both are present in the
ApplicationResources.properties file, which is stored under WEB-INF.

When I insert <html:errors/> in my JSP page, nothing prints out. I also
tried replacing html:errors with the following tags:

<html:messages id="errorMsg">
  <li><bean:write name="errorMsg"/></li>
</html:messages>

When I do this, I get a NullPointerException with the following stack trace:

        ... Lots more stack trace after this ...

I have the taglib definitions at the top of the JSP page like so:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>

Does anyone know if Struts has a bug in the 1.1-b1 version, or whether I'm
doing something wrong?
