Type conversion errors for collections

[Owen Berry <ow...@gmail.com>]

I have an action that has a collection of objects. Conversion to and
from the objects in this collection works fine. However, I can't
figure out how to give sensible errors for type conversions that fail.
It's not cool for the user to get:
    Invalid field value for field "deliveryLocations[1].port".

In my action .properties file I can have:
    invalid.fieldvalue.deliveryLocations[0].port=Delivery Location
Port is invalid

This works fine, but I don't want to add 10 of these and then just
hope the user does not enter 11 locations.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Owen

Accidentally found out how to do this:

  invalid.fieldvalue.deliveryLocations[*].port=Delivery Location Port is invalid

Posting it for others who may have the same question.
