Define more than one messages.properties
I have a Struts-app with a really big messages.properties file. I want to
split this file in some smaller and logic parts to get a better overview.
I know there is the possibility to create modules with its own
messages.properties. But I have some messages used in every module the same
way, e.g. menu entries, error messages... But if I create modules, I have to
copy these messages in each module and if I update these messages, I have to
update them in each module. I think this is no really good way.
Is there any possibility, to define a comma separated list of
messages.properties in one module, the same way I define more
struts-config.xml files, which will be concatenated at runtime?
Regards,
Sam

Thanks,
But ARG!!!! That wasn't it. I changed the <message-resources tag as you
suggest,
<message-resources null="false" parameter="ApplicationResources"/>
however I am still not displaying any messages not even the ???null???
there are also no exceptions in the log.
Is there some other package I can add a logger for that might yield a
hint as to what's going on?

The problem is with how you've configured your messages resources.
Because
you've specified a key your message resources are not being stored under
the
"default" messages resources key. There being stored under the bundle
key
"ApplicationResources". You just need to remove that (and the id, its
unnecessary) and have the following...
<message-resources null="false" parameter="ApplicationResources"/>
If you do specify a "key" value in the <message-resources> element,
then
you need to use the same value in the "bundle" attribute of the JSP
tags,
something like the following should work with what you had set up...
<bean:message key="myMessage.key" bundle="ApplicationResources" />
I'm going to post an update to the page I originally put up which
includes
info on this - I'll post to the list when its ready.

message-resources null="false" returnNull=true
Posted by Michael Oliver <ol...@sourceonenet.com>.
I am trying to debug why I cannot get ActionMessages to display.
I have set my struts-config.xml as follows:
<message-resources key="AJDocManResources"
null="false" parameter="AJDocManResources"/>
AJDocManResources.properties is located in:
/WEB-INF/classes/AJDocManResources.properties
My log shows:
656 INFO [main] util.PropertyMessageResources - Initializing,
config='AJDocManResources', returnNull=true
it appears the Message Resources file is loading but I cannot get
anything to display, it throws no exceptions and no ???null???? like
messages.
Shouldn't returnNull=false with the null="false" in the
struts-config.xml???

One cause of this is if it can't find the message key in your

null="true".
If you change your message resources config to null="false" in your
struts-config.xml....
<message-resources null="false"

Then if it can't find the message for some reason, you should get the

RE: Html:messages vs html:errors
Posted by Michael Oliver <ol...@sourceonenet.com>.
This seems to be one of the biggest problems for Struts users, I am
still on 1.1 but had so much trouble with <html:errors/> that I am sure
moving to html:messages will be better, I too want to do that, but not
finding what to do.

Subject: RE: Html:messages vs html:errors
We don't seem to have struts-examples.war readily available here at
work.
Does anyone have an example of overriding an ActionForm's validate()
method,
but using ActionMessage instead of ActionError (I presume you still have
to
use a Collection of ActionErrors), and using html:messages instead of
simple
old <html:errors/>.
Specifically, how does one tie in the id parameter in html:messages with
the
ActionErrors Collection returned by one's validate() method ?

the usage is the same.
actionerrors are dependent on certain keys such as "error.prefix" that
came
with the messageresources file.
messageresources have no such dependencies.
have a look at the struts-examples.war. u'll see all u'll need there :)

Html:messages vs html:errors
Posted by Fergal O'Shea <fe...@activehotels.com>.
Hi,
I'm a Struts newbie. A lot of the books and documentation I have on Struts
is pre 1.2 and uses html:errors and ActionErrors. Given ActionErrors is
deprecated, I'd like to use ActionMessages for some new JSPs I'm writing.
Does anyone know of links to more up-to-date articles or documentation
discussing the transition from Errors to Messages, what's similar and what
has changed ?
I've looked at the Apache website, but it mostly still seems to talk in
terms of ActionErrors.
TIA,
Fergal

RE: Define more than one messages.properties
Posted by Mark Benussi <ma...@hotmail.com>.
Yes.
<message-resources parameter="ApplicationResources" null="false" />
<message-resources key="general" parameter="general.ApplicationResources"
null="false" />
<message-resources key="errors" parameter="errors.ApplicationResources"
null="false" />
Then when you refer to a message from a message resource defined above with
a key just use the 'bundle' attribute of html:errors.

Subject: Define more than one messages.properties
I have a Struts-app with a really big messages.properties file. I want to
split this file in some smaller and logic parts to get a better overview.
I know there is the possibility to create modules with its own
messages.properties. But I have some messages used in every module the same
way, e.g. menu entries, error messages... But if I create modules, I have to
copy these messages in each module and if I update these messages, I have to
update them in each module. I think this is no really good way.
Is there any possibility, to define a comma separated list of
messages.properties in one module, the same way I define more
struts-config.xml files, which will be concatenated at runtime?
Regards,
Sam
