Answer 1

In Struts 1.x, if you are trying to display an dynamic ActionMessage (type can be a String,Integer etc.) using Struts ActionMessages class please have a look at the below snippet:

ActionMessages msg = new ActionMessages();
msg.add(ACtionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new ActionMessage(
                "msg.displaymsg", new Object[] {"Message to be displayed"}));

In Property file we must set the property value like this:

msg.displaymsg={0}

Above defines that argument of zero holds the first value of Object ActionMessage.

Above worked for me.

You need to pass the variable to ActionMEssage like this,

       errors.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new ActionMessage(
                "error.plan.foundForUser", new Object[] {"username"}));
