Action Error ???en_US.logonForm.username??? ???en_US.logonForm.password???

[Arun Nair]

I have a <html:errors/> defined in a page(Logon.jsp) and in my
LogonForm (extends ActionForm) I have a validate method:
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request) {

ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();

if ((username == null) || (username.length() < 1))
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,
new ActionError("logonForm.username"));

if ((password == null) || (password.length() < 1))
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,
new ActionError("logonForm.password"));

return errors;

}

But this method gives me an output like
???en_US.logonForm.username??? ???en_US.logonForm.password???

Can anyone tell me why? My application.properties files contains:
# -- standard errors --
errors.header=<H3><FONT color="red">Validation Error</FONT></H3>You
must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:<UL>
errors.prefix=<LI>
errors.suffix=</LI>
errors.footer=</UL><BR>
# -- validator --
errors.invalid={0} is invalid.
errors.maxlength={0} can not be greater than {1} characters.
errors.minlength={0} can not be less than {1} characters.
errors.range={0} is not in the range {1} through {2}.
errors.double={0} must be an double.
errors.float={0} must be an float.
# -- welcome --
welcome.title=Employment Exchange Application
welcome.heading=Welcome!
logonForm.username=<LI>user name required</LI>
logonForm.password=A password must be entered

--------------------------------------

I first thought that struts was not able to find the
application.properties
file. So, I tried putting the application.properties file in the
WEB-INF/classes/resources folder as well as the WEB-INF/classes
folder.
Neither seems to solve the problem. I have spent 4 days on this but
of on avail.

My struts-config.xml contains the following relevent entries(besides
others):

<message-resources parameter="resource.Application" null="false" />

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathname"
value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml" />
</plug-in>


What should I do?

thanks

I tried putting the application.properties file in the
WEB-INF/classes/resources folder as well as the WEB-INF/classes
folder. ....
<message-resources parameter="resource.Application" null="false" />

<message-resources parameter="resources.application"/>

It's case sensitive and should point to the path in classes where the
properties file is with fully qualified Java style name.

Not an unusual problem. In fact, questions of this ilk prompted me
to write an article on Java message resources. You can find it here:
