Lynn,
It looks to me like you may have a typo -- you have
String limit="7";
ActionMessage actionMsg= new ActionMessage("notice","msg.notice",limit);
where I think you want
String limit="7";
ActionMessage actionMsg= new ActionMessage("msg.notice",limit);
The first argument/actual-parameter to
all ActionMessage constructors is the
key into the Resource Bundle. Looks like a simple typo...
