I18N and forms

[Mishkin Berteig <mi...@berteig.com>]

I have been working on internationalizing my struts app.  I just noticed
that the form:submit tags' label is the value used for the property when
submitted.  If I understand correctly, this means that I can't use a
bean:message tag to set the label, and a separate constant value for the
property value on submission, which of course means that if I want my
buttons to localize properly, I need really ugly handling code in my
action classes..  Is there something I am missing?  Or does anyone have
a good way of working around this?

Thanks,
Mishkin.

If you specify nested content inside the <html:submit> tag, it will be used
as the button label.  For example, the "registration.jsp" page in the
example app does this:

    <html:submit>
        <bean:message key="button.save"/>
    </html:submit>
