Multiple -- How to access? Struts 1.1

[Lukas Bradley <lu...@somnia.com>]

Hi all,

I feel rather odd asking about this, because it seems it should be a VERY
simple task.

I've been using a single message-resource within my struts-config.xml file.
It's been working beautifully defined as:
<message-resources parameter="MyTerms" null="false"/>

When I have a file "MyTerms.properties" in my /WEB-INF/classes directory.  I
access my properties as such:

<bean:message key="label.forum.subject" />

And everything the world is perfect.

Except that my properties file has filled up with hundreds of terms, and it
is getting impossible to manage.  To make this easier, I decided to define
multiple message-resources in my struts-config.

<message-resources parameter="MyTerms" null="false"/>

<message-resources parameter="msg.resource.errors" key="msg.errors"
null="false" />

<message-resources parameter="msg.forum" key="msg.forum" null="false" />

It is my understanding that the initial "MyTerms" file will be stored under
the default resources property, and the other two will be stored as
"msg.errors" and "msg.forum" respectively.

However, when I try to access them, I get nothing.

<bean:message key="label.forum" messages="msg.forum"/>

<bean:message key="label.forum" name="msg.forum"/>

<bean:message key="label.forum" bundle="msg.forum"/>

None of the tags above work.  I even tried

<bean:message property="label.forum" bundle="msg.forum"/>

But that gives a NullPointerException.

So I'm stumped.  In the logs, the property file is being loaded during
startup, and my default property file still returns messages.

Any help?

Lukas

It appears as if the properties file can not contain the "." character.
This makes sense, because properties are considered to be Class files at run
time.  The dot-notation probably gets a little confusing.

This works:

<message-resources parameter="MyForum" key="msg.forum" null="false"/>

<bean:message key="label.forum" bundle="msg.forum"/>

Where the properties file is named MyForum.properites.
