REPORT #625 Details.

Project: Struts
Category: Bug Report
SubCategory: New Bug Report
Class: webbug
State: received
Priority: medium
Severity: serious
Confidence: public
Environment: 
   Release: .5
   JVM Release: 1.2.2
   Operating System: Win2k
   OS Release: Win2k

Synopsis: 
Errors Tag(NullPointerException) - missing override for pageContext.getAttribute(...)

Description:
In the Errors Tag.java file the doStartTag() will try to process this line of code:

MessageResources messages = (MessageResources) pageContext.getAttribute(Action.MESSAGES_KEY, PageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE);

This class file does not override the PageContext's getAttribute(String, int) method in the javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext class.  So the attempt to call this method will result in a Null Pointer Exception when trying to display the error tags.
