26 * <p>A class that encapsulates the error messages being reported by the
27 * <code>validate()</code> method of an <code>ActionForm</code>. Validation
28 * errors are either global to the entire <code>ActionForm</code> bean they
29 * are associated with, or they are specific to a particular bean property
30 * (and, therefore, a particular input field on the corresponding form).</p>
31 *
32 * <p>Each individual error is described by an <code>ActionMessage</code>
33 * object, which contains a message key (to be looked up in an appropriate
34 * message resources database), and up to four placeholder arguments used for
35 * parametric substitution in the resulting message.</p>
36 *
37 * <p><strong>IMPLEMENTATION NOTE</strong> - It is assumed that these objects
38 * are created and manipulated only within the context of a single thread.
39 * Therefore, no synchronization is required for access to internal
40 * collections.</p>
