need a clear explanation of bean.tld

[Jonathan Asbell <ja...@i-2000.com>]

Hello all.  The <bean:message> tag just came up in a thread and I still dont know what areas the bean.tld stuff is specifically designed to handle as a whole.  Where is it that one wants to use this collection of tags' funcionality?  How should we be using it and how should we not be using it?

Well, the answer is sorta different for each of the tags.  But
<bean:message> in particular is useful when you want to display an
internationalized message so that the same JSP page can be used in
multiple languages.  See the following for more info:

* The Struts example application -- all the JSP pages use this

* The Struts User's Guide

* The "Bean Tags" User's Guide

* The "Bean Tags" Reference

All of the latter stuff is available in the Struts Documentation
application, as well as online at:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/struts
