html:messages does not display messages

[Ajai]

Hi,
I am facing one problem in error messages display.
my code in Jsp page is as below:-
<%
System.out.println("the messages begin here");
%>
<html:messages id="error">
<LI><bean:write name="error" /></LI>
</html:messages>
<%
System.out.println("the messages end here");
%>
but I get the below output:-
[5/28/04 21:16:22:578 SGT] 693309c0 SystemOut O the messages begin here
[5/28/04 21:16:22:578 SGT] 693309c0 SystemOut O the messages end here
[5/28/04 21:16:22:578 SGT] 693309c0 SystemOut O Going to print the array size
[5/28/04 21:16:22:578 SGT] 693309c0 SystemOut O The length of lists13,13,13
[5/28/04 21:16:23:016 SGT] 693309c0 WebGroup E SRVE0026E: [Servlet Error]-[No collection found]: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No collection found
at org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.IterateTag.doStartTag(IterateTag.java:281)

In my action the error size is one and the message is also available in application.prop file.For the action I am also setting validate as true.
I used the same syntax for some other JSP and it worked fine.

Any ideas???

Isn't that what <html:errors/> is for???

The JspException is related to the <logic:iterate> tag you've got somewhere else in the JSP, not to your <html:messages> element.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, there is logic:iterate tag.
But if I am getting errors from Action, should not struts write the error message rather than going to logic:iterate tag.Nevertheless the collection used by logic:iterate has values as given in the output.So why the exception is there.
At the same time if there is no error from Action, logic :iterate tag works perfectly fine.


Thanks...
