[s2] Difference between actionMessages and actionErrors

[Zoran Avtarovski <zo...@sparecreative.com>]

A quick question on what the recommended method for displaying general
messages when using struts 2, actionMessages or actionErrors.

I had a look at the ValidationAware interface and there appears to be no
difference between the two.

The only difference I could see what that they are accessed by different
tags.

Which one is recommended? My main concern is are the non-obvious
implications of choosing one over another.

Another important difference between ActionMessages and ActionErrors  
has to do with how the Validation interceptor works.

If you add an ActionError in the 'validate' method (or before the  
ValidationInterceptor get ahold of the request) of a ValidationAware  
action, the interceptor will see that there is some kind of error,  
and consequently, not fire the intended action method (execute by  
default). ActionMessages do not act that way. You can add  
ActionMessages without having an affect on the workflow of the action.

I was supposed to test the genereated HTML from both. (Laziness got the best
of me).

<guess>
Here it goes, without testing. I think that the HTML generated is slightly
different so that you
may apply different CSS style sheets to it.

<redundant>actionMessages is for general messages, and actionErrors for
errors.</redundant> . I don't think there are any implications.
