checkLogon issue, and ActionError substitution problem...

[Ryan Cornia <rc...@dced.state.ut.us>]

I'm trying to figure out how to pass a constant name/page to the example checkLogon tag. I created a Constants class, with -
   public final static String STAFF_LOGIN_KEY = "test:staffloggedin";

in my jsp I put -
<app:checkLogon name="<% Contants.STAFF_LOGIN_KEY %>" />"

The issue is that it sets name in the checkLogon tag to the string " <% Contants.STAFF_LOGIN_KEY %>" not the value of that scriptlet ("stafflogon.jsp"). Any ideas?

Also, I am trying to do substitution on an action error with the following -

errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,
                     new ActionError("error.login", "test"));

When this runs, the error message is -
"Login Error: [Ljava.lang.Object;@158bf9 " 

Instead of 
"Login Error: test"

This is with Struts 1.0B3.

Thanks,
Ryan "Newbie"

You need to use a runtime expression instead:

  <app:checkLogon name="<%= Constants.STAFF_LOGIN_KEY %>" />
                          ^

What does the message format string named "error.login" look like?
