newby help

[tk...@netcourrier.com]

Hi,

I am a newby to velocity, that I am appreciating very much.

Now, I am trying to replace the tag :
<html:errors/> with $!errors.msgs() as suggested by Ted Husted in his book "Struts in action" (chapter 17 page 564). 

Pb: when I enter a wrong userName or psswd in my logonForm, there is no error displayed.

Question : what is the best way to display error messages in a page as in struts, i.e by using the error.properties file and the equivalent of <html:errors/>

Thanks

Chris

that should probably be  $!errors.msgs  or  $!errors.getMsgs()  you shouldn't
mix the short syntax with the full syntax.

if you haven't already, be sure you check out the velocity-tools documentation
at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/index.html
a *lot* of progress has been made on the tools project since Ted's book was
written.

do what fits your purposes.  if $errors.msgs and the error.properties file
works fine for you, then stick with it.
