Hi i have developed a simple application which is used to ask the user to add their name and age. It should then verify both fields in such a way that the age should be between 18 - 65 and the name must not be NULL. After it is validated it should go to my acknowledge page . With in my Applictaion Resource file i have included
errors.name.required=Name must be entered!
errors.age.range=Age out of range 18 - 65
with <th> <html:errors property="age" /> and <html:errors property="name" /> in my jsp file but it still does not show up the errors. Can somebody show me why this is not showing up.

The taglib directive below imports the JSTL library. If you uncomment it,
you must also add the JSTL library to the project. The Add Library... action
on Libraries node in Projects view can be used to add the JSTL 1.1 library.

<!-- ========================= Tiles plugin ===============================-->
<!--
This plugin initialize Tiles definition factory. This later can takes some
parameters explained here after. The plugin first read parameters from
web.xml, thenoverload them with parameters defined here. All parameters
are optional.
The plugin should be declared in each struts-config file.
- definitions-config: (optional)
Specify configuration file names. There can be several comma
separated file names (default: ?? )
- moduleAware: (optional - struts1.1)
Specify if the Tiles definition factory is module aware. If true
(default), there will be one factory for each Struts module.
If false, there will be one common factory for all module. In this
later case, it is still needed to declare one plugin per module.
The factory will be initialized with parameters found in the first
initialized plugin (generally the one associated with the default
module).
true : One factory per module. (default)
false : one single shared factory for all modules
- definitions-parser-validate: (optional)
Specify if xml parser should validate the Tiles configuration file.
true : validate. DTD should be specified in file header (default)
false : no validation
Paths found in Tiles definitions are relative to the main context.

Everytime i enter a reasonable value and a string, it goes to my acknowledge page, but when entering an out of range age and with no name, it simply does not show my errors. Could somebody give some insigh on this please.
Thanks
