something I don't get with i18n in Struts2

[mague <je...@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

Here is my understanding of internationalization in struts 1 & 2 :

In Struts 1.x, it's possible to use something like <bean:message
bundle="myBundle" key="some.key"/> to specify in which resource bundle
"some.key" is to be found.

As the Walking Tour of the Struts 2 MailReader Application explains, "In
Struts 2, message resources are associated with the Action class being
processed". Therefore, when one uses something like <s:text
name="index.login"/> there is no way (as far as I know) to specify the
bundle. It has to be the bundle associated with the action.

Now, here is my problem: I use Tiles in my application and, for example, I
have a tile for a navigation bar. This navigation bar is present on any page
sent to the brother which means that it is generated after every action. In
Strut1, I have a single resource bundle for the navigation bar, and I can
specify it in the jsp file that define the bar. In Struts2 I can see no
other way than duplicating all the keys related to the menu bar in the
resource bundle of every single action. 

Such a duplication cannot the normal way of using a modern framework such as
Struts2. So where am I wrong ? What are the best practices in such a case ?
