Out of the box these 2 are good Articles:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wchelp/v6r0m0/topic/com.ibm.commerce.developer.doc/concepts/csdjsperror.htm

Essentially there are following elements:
1. ECSystemException and ECApplicationException classes, that are used to throw exceptions from inside the controller.
2. Extending the ECMessage and ECMessageKey
3. The errors are intercepted by the ExtStoreErrorDataBean and mapped to resource bundles
4. Errors are displayed in JSP.

Define the property in ExtMessages_en_CA.properties (
_ERR_RESTRICTED_PROD = This item is restricted for delivery.


Extending ECMessage and ECMessageKey:

public interface EXTMessageKey extends ECMessageKey{
public static final String _ERR_RESTRICTED_PROD = "_ERR_RESTRICTED_PROD";

public static final String _ERR_MAX_NUM_OF_OF_CARTS_REACHED = "_ERR_MAX_NUM_OF_OF_CARTS_REACHED";

}

public class EXTMessage extends ECMessage{
//this file structure needs to be created inside toolkit properties folder
for com/ext/common/messages/EXTMessages.propertie

public final static String EXT_MESSAGES_RESOURCE_BUNDLE = "com.ext.common.messages.EXTMessages";

// final constants
public static final int USER = ECMessageType.USER;
public static final int SYSTEM = ECMessageType.SYSTEM;

// message severities
public static final long ERROR = ECMessageSeverity.ERROR;
public static final long WARNING = ECMessageSeverity.WARNING;
public static final long STATUS = ECMessageSeverity.STATUS;
public static final long INFO = ECMessageSeverity.INFO;

public EXTMessage(long msgSeverity, int msgType, String msgKey)
{
super(msgSeverity, msgType, msgKey, EXT_MESSAGES_RESOURCE_BUNDLE);
}

//system
public static final EXTMessage _ERR_MAX_NUM_OF_OF_CARTS_REACHED = new EXTMessage(ERROR, SYSTEM, EXTMessageKey._ERR_MAX_NUM_OF_OF_CARTS_REACHED);

public static final EXTMessage _ERR_PROCESSING_REQUEST = new EXTMessage(ERROR, SYSTEM, EXTMessageKey._ERR_PROCESSING_REQUEST);

//user
public static final EXTMessage _ERR_LOGIDPWDPSID_NOT_PRESENT = new EXTMessage(ERROR, USER, EXTMessageKey._ERR_LOGIDPWDPSID_NOT_PRESENT);

public static final EXTMessage _ERR_RESTRICTED_PROD = new EXTMessage(ERROR, USER, EXTMessageKey._ERR_RESTRICTED_PROD);
}


In the controller command, The error needs to be thrown as an exception for example:

throw new ExtendedApplicationException( EXTMessage._ERR_RESTRICTED_PROD,
CLASSNAME,
METHOD_NAME,
ORDER_SHOP_CART_VIEW,
true);
