Change Struts2 interceptor error messages - struts2

I am using Struts 2 + Hibernate (full-hibernate-plugin-for-struts2), and I have this code to check if image to upload is png:
struts.xml
<struts>
<package name="mypack" namespace="/" extends="hibernate-default">
...
<action name="myaction" class="com.actions.MyAction" >
<interceptor-ref name="defaultStackHibernate">
<param name="fileUpload.allowedTypes">image/png</param>
</interceptor-ref>
<result name="success" type="tiles" >baseLayout</result>
<result name="error" type="tiles" >error</result>
<result name="input" type="tiles" >baseLayout</result>
</action>
...
</package>
</struts>
The error message that comes out if I upload not allowed image types is:
Content-Type not allowed: image "img.jpg" "upload__2988a871_13b93535e21__7fc1_00000009.tmp" image/jpeg
How can I modify that error message? Using something like "hibernate-messages.properties"?

You can override this message by creating text for this key:
struts.messages.error.content.type.not.allowed

Struts 2 interceptor firing when it shouldn't

I have different areas in my webapp, basically:
Login actions. No special interceptor needs.
Secure zone. Only for authenticated users. AuthenticationInterceptor redirects non authenticated users to logout action.
Admin zone. Only for admin users. AdministrationInterceptor redirects non admin users to logout action.
Hence, I have divided my actions in packages.
numeritos-default is a package with no actions, just to define the
interceptors and a couple stacks, in order to inherit from it.
numeritos-login is a package that inherits directly from
struts-default and, hence, uses the defaultStack from struts.
numeritos-secure inherits from numeritos-default and SHOULD (afaik)
use the numeritos-default default stack.
numeritos-admin inherits
from numeritos-default but defines a different default stack, in
order to add the administrationInterceptor to the default stack.
The thing is, the actions in numeritos-secure are executing the administrationInterceptor when they shouldn't, since their default stack, inherited from numeritos-default doesn't include that interceptor (I can't figure out the reason), hence only admin users can access the application. The rest of users are kicked out of the whole secure zone, when they should be only kicked out of the admin zone.
I have the following struts.xml configuration file. Sorry to post the whole of it, but I think it could help. All classes references are really Spring beans names, since all dependencies are managed by Spring.

Defining package configuration elements are only for adding additional configuration to packages that extend it. The packages can contain interceptors, interceptor stacks, actions that can be extended.
The package element has one required attribute name, which acts as the key for later reference to the package. The extends attribute is optional and allows one package to inherit the configuration of one or more previous packages
including all interceptor, interceptor-stack, and action configurations.
Usually packages are separated by namespace attribute which is essential for configuring actions. You can define the abstract package which doesn't contain the action configurations.
The optional abstract attribute creates a base package that can omit the action configuration.
The thing is, you are not using namespace, nor abstract packages and default-intercepto-ref is not inherited to the packages that extends it.

<global-forwards> in struts 2

we are converting our application from Struts 1.2 to 2.16. I ahve added the requried jars and now i am converting struts_config.xml to struts.xml. Below is i struts-config.xml
<struts-config>
<global-forwards>
<!-- Default forward to "Welcome" action -->
<!-- Demonstrates using index.jsp to forward -->
<forward name="welcome" path="/Welcome.do"/>
<forward name="family" path="/Employee.do"/>
<forward name="line" path="/Owner.do"/>
</global-forwards>
<action-mappings>
<action path="/Welcome" forward="/pages/welcome.jsp"/>
<action path="/Employee" forward="/pages/employeejsp"/>
<action path="/Owner" forward="/pages/owner.jsp"/>
</action-mappings>
</stuts-config>
I am not able convert Global_forwards to global_results. when trying to access the page getting a blank page and its not throwing any error. Did add devmode still no luck.
Could any one please help me .
Thanks
<forward name="welcome" path="/Welcome.do"/>
<forward name="family" path="/Employee.do"/>
<forward name="line" path="/Owner.do"/>
</global-forwards>
to
<global-results>
<result name="family" type="redirect">Employee</result>
<result name="line" type="redirect">Owner</result>
</global-results>
for action mapping
<action-mappings>
<action path="/Welcome" forward="/pages/welcome.jsp"/>
</action-mappings>
<package name="test" extends="struts-default">
<action name="Welcome" class="org.xyz.Welcome" method="welcome">
<result name="success">/welcome.jsp</result>
<result name="input">/register.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>

Strange effects when chaining results in struts 2

When an error event occurs I am chaining the result to an error action, this works okay when its all happening in the same namespace but when chaining across namespaces the results of the chained action are in the chaining actions namespace.
<package name="mynamespace-htm" namespace="/mynamespace/htm" extends="mybase-base">
<action name="newsItem" class="com.mypackage.control.GetNewsItemAction">
<result name="success">newsItem.jsp</result>
<result name="error" type="chain">
<param name="actionName">invalidSite</param>
<param name="namespace">/mynamespace</param>
</result>
</action>
</package>
<package name="mynamespace" namespace="/mynamespace" extends="mybase-base">
<action name="invalidSite" class="com.mypackage.control.GetInvalidSiteAction">
<result name="success">commonviews/invalidSite.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
If I access the newsItem action in a way that causes an error result I get an exception javax.servlet.ServletException: File "/mynamespace/htm/commonviews/invalidSite.jsp" not found why is it trying to find the file relative to the original namespace mynamespace/htm instead of mynamespace?

url including extra word in path

I am using struts2 for web development.
after deploying
it is showing url http://localhost:8084/iland/ which is login page of my site
which is correct but after login it is redirected to 'about' action which fetch user details so in this case url should be http://localhost:8084/iland/about,
but it is showing url http://localhost:8084/iland/pages/about.
Here 'pages' is included, due to this change my css are not get loaded.
How to resolve this
my struts.xml for above is
<package name="myprofile" extends="struts-default">
<action name="login" class="action.LoginAction">
<result name="success" type="redirect">about</result>
<result name="input">/pages/login.jsp</result>
</action>
<package name="default" extends="struts-default">
<action name="about" class="social.action.fetchBasicProfile">
<result name="success">/pages/profile/about.jsp</result>
<result name="input">/pages/profile/about.jsp</result>
<result name="login">/pages/pleaselogin.jsp</result>
</action>
</package
There must be problem with your namespace, so please check your struts.xml and change the namespace="pages" to namespace="/". this will resolve your issue. let me know if u find any difficulty

Action Message and action Error is not forwarding to the different action in struts2.3.12

I am using latest struts 2.3.12 version.
My struts.xml
<action name="*ContractorDetail" class="waid.config.contractor.ContractorDetailAction" method="{1}">
<result name="ContractorDetailScreen" type="tiles">ShowContractorDetailScreen</result>
<result type="chain" name="success">
<param name="actionName">ContractorSummary</param>
<param name="namespace">/app</param>
</result>
<result name="input" type="redirectAction">
<param name="actionName">ContractorSummary</param>
<param name="namespace">/app</param>
</result>
<result name="error" type="redirectAction">
<param name="actionName">ContractorSummary</param>
<param name="namespace">/app</param>
</result>
<result name="deleteDependency" type="chain">
<param name="actionName">ContractorSummary</param>
<param name="namespace">/app</param>
</result>
</action>
<action name="*ContractorSubmit" class="waid.config.contractor.ContractorSubmitAction" method="{1}">
<result type="chain" name="success">
<param name="actionName">modifyContractorDetail</param>
<param name="namespace">/app</param>
</result>
<result name="error" type="tiles">ShowContractorDetailScreen</result>
<result name="input" type="tiles">ShowContractorDetailScreen</result>
</action>
In my Submit action i am setting actionMessage and action errorMessage which will forwarded to detailsAction.
In previous version of struts(2.1) action message are showing in jsp.
But after upgrading to struts 2.3.12 version action message and action error both are not coming in jsp.
Try add these lines in struts.xml to restore the original behaviour
<constant name="struts.xwork.chaining.copyErrors" value="true"/>
<constant name="struts.xwork.chaining.copyFieldErrors" value="true"/>
<constant name="struts.xwork.chaining.copyMessages" value="true"/>
I took the solution from here:
http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/docs/chaining-interceptor.html
