Changing default style of s:actionerror / s:actionmessage tag
In struts 2 when you use <s:actionerror /> tag, it displays the errors with bullets, On viewing the page source of the jsp page, we can see that error message is displayed using
<ul> <li>error 1</li> <li>error 2</li> </ul>
But suppose if our requirement is to display the error message without bullet in the action errors or action messages
** UPDATE: Struts 2 Complete tutorial now available here.
There are 2 ways to solve this problem
1. Customized the code in jsp, such that you can specify your own css for displaying the message
<s:if test="hasActionErrors()"> <s:iterator value="actionErrors"> <span class="msg"><s:property escape="false" /> </span> </s:iterator> </s:if>
2. Change the file in the “/template/simple/actionerror.ftl” and put it in the /web-directory/struts/simple if you are using simple theme
