validation in the form bean

hi
i did the form validation in the form bean as follows

ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if (getId() == null || getId().length() < 1) {
ActionMessage error = new ActionMessage("error.login");
errors.add("login", error);

}

And also added the error message in the property file as well.

the same code for validation in the action class gave me the error message in the JSP, but it is not giving the error message in for the validation in the form bean
can anyone help me . because am new to struts

thanks in advance

I'm not sure what you mean: if the errors are showing up in the JSP what's the problem?
