Take a look at this JIRA issue:

https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2132

I'm working on adding JSP 2.0's dynamic attributes functionality to Struts
2.1.

It's not as easy as that. Each struts2 tag is:
  - defined in the struts-tags.tld file, including all available 
attributes;  and
  - backed by one or more classes that implements the tag's functionality

Unfortunately, you can't add an attribute and expect it to be available 
in the FTL.  Instead you'd have to change the tag library and extend the 
class or create your own to support the additional attribute.  Take a 
look at the source for FieldError.java

Perhaps all you really need is <s:set> or <s:push>.
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.9/docs/set.html
ie. Set a value before <s:fielderrors> and modify the template for 
FieldError to get it.

hope that helps,
Jeromy Evans
