<form:errors> tag seems to be appending commandName?

With the following code:

Code:

---

<form:form path="cmd" commandName="cmd" action="doStuff.action" >
                <form:errors path="*" cssClass="error"/>
...

---

In my controller if I use errors.reject("Some message"), the page is instead displaying with; "Some message.cmd"

Is this the expected behavior? Can it be changed?

No... I suggest a read of the reference guide and the API docs.

In short the method you use takes a code NOT a message. codes are resolved using a MessageSource. If you want to hard code the message in your code use the appropriate reject method (the one that takes a code AND a default message).

Thanks Marten, this makes sense seeing the API docs. What I was trying to accomplish was to reject with an exception message (which can be variable since I am catching a generic type of exception).

What I did to still allow this is create a message code with a parameter:
ERROR.MESSAGE=It crashed! Details: {0}

and then using the reject method which takes parameters:

Code:

---

errors.reject("ERROR.MESSAGE", new Object[] { e.getMessage(); }, null);

Thanks for your help.
