    copied!<p>I've faced the same problem, so I created custom errors tag that displays the first error only - feel free to use it:</p> <p>a] Create custom tag class</p> <pre><code>package cz.devmint.springext.web.tags.form; import javax.servlet.jsp.JspException; import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils; import org.springframework.util.ObjectUtils; import org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.ErrorsTag; import org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.TagWriter; public class ErrorsTagExt extends ErrorsTag { private boolean firstErrorOnly = true; public boolean isFirstErrorOnly() { return firstErrorOnly; } public void setFirstErrorOnly(boolean firstErrorOnly) { this.firstErrorOnly = firstErrorOnly; } @Override protected void renderDefaultContent(TagWriter tagWriter) throws JspException { tagWriter.startTag(getElement()); writeDefaultAttributes(tagWriter); String delimiter = ObjectUtils.getDisplayString(evaluate("delimiter", getDelimiter())); String[] errorMessages = getBindStatus().getErrorMessages(); for(int i = 0; i &lt; errorMessages.length; i++) { String errorMessage = errorMessages[i]; if (i &gt; 0) { tagWriter.appendValue(delimiter); } tagWriter.appendValue(getDisplayString(errorMessage)); if (firstErrorOnly) break; } tagWriter.endTag(); } </code></pre> <p>b] To use the custom tag you have to create tag library descriptor - you can simply copy ErrorsTag declaration from spring's tag library descriptors (spring-webmvc-3.2.1.RELEASE.jar in META-INF directory under name <code>spring-form.tld</code>) and add your own attribute <code>firstErrorOnly</code>. Below is the complete example extracted from my library - see comments in the code what can be changed and customized: </p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd" version="2.0"&gt; &lt;description&gt;Custom extension to Spring Framework JSP Tag Library&lt;/description&gt; &lt;tlib-version&gt;3.0&lt;/tlib-version&gt; &lt;short-name&gt;tags&lt;/short-name&gt; &lt;!-- use your own uri --&gt; &lt;uri&gt;http://cz.devmint.spring-ext/tags&lt;/uri&gt; &lt;tag&gt; &lt;description&gt;Renders field errors in an HTML 'span' tag.&lt;/description&gt; &lt;name&gt;errors&lt;/name&gt; &lt;!-- use your own package - fully qualified name of your tag class --&gt; &lt;tag-class&gt;cz.devmint.springext.web.tags.form.ErrorsTagExt&lt;/tag-class&gt; &lt;body-content&gt;JSP&lt;/body-content&gt; &lt;variable&gt; &lt;name-given&gt;messages&lt;/name-given&gt; &lt;variable-class&gt;java.util.List&lt;/variable-class&gt; &lt;/variable&gt; &lt;!-- this attribute declaration is the only change when compare with spring's original tag definition --&gt; &lt;attribute&gt; &lt;description&gt;Whether to render the first error for given field only&lt;/description&gt; &lt;name&gt;firstErrorOnly&lt;/name&gt; &lt;required&gt;false&lt;/required&gt; &lt;rtexprvalue&gt;false&lt;/rtexprvalue&gt; &lt;/attribute&gt; &lt;attribute&gt; &lt;description&gt;Path to errors object for data binding&lt;/description&gt; &lt;name&gt;path&lt;/name&gt; &lt;required&gt;false&lt;/required&gt; &lt;rtexprvalue&gt;true&lt;/rtexprvalue&gt; &lt;/attribute&gt; &lt;attribute&gt; &lt;description&gt;HTML Standard Attribute&lt;/description&gt; &lt;name&gt;id&lt;/name&gt; &lt;required&gt;false&lt;/required&gt; &lt;rtexprvalue&gt;true&lt;/rtexprvalue&gt; &lt;/attribute&gt; &lt;attribute&gt; &lt;description&gt;Enable/disable HTML escaping of rendered values.&lt;/description&gt; &lt;name&gt;htmlEscape&lt;/name&gt; &lt;required&gt;false&lt;/required&gt; &lt;rtexprvalue&gt;true&lt;/rtexprvalue&gt; &lt;/attribute&gt; &lt;attribute&gt; &lt;description&gt;Delimiter for displaying multiple error messages.
