RE: REPOST: Accessing MessageResource Objects from across Applica tion Modules.
It's true that message resources are per module. Have you tried just
declaring that same resource in the struts-config of the modules needing that
resource?
In both your main struts-config.xml and struts-config-something.xml, try
using the same <message-resources> entry.

RE: REPOST: Accessing MessageResource Objects from across Applica tion Modules.
Posted by Hubert Rabago <ja...@yahoo.com>.
Like Anne and I have mentioned, the message resources for each module are
independent of other modules, and you really shouldn't access the resources
of module A from within module B. If you need the resource file in both
modules, declare the same resource in both modules.
The "unique" request processor per module depends on what you mean by unique.
If you're thinking class-wise, they could be the same, however, the instance
wouldn't be.
So, declare the resources you need in each module you need them, and if you
need to specify a bundle key, perhaps you can add a "bundle" parameter to
your custom tag.
hth,
Hubert

Thanks Hubert.
I'll give this a try.
One last question. To follow up on Anne's comments, are you using a common
request processor across modules?
Do you aggree with Anne that having unique request processors per module,
the ResourceBundles cannot be accessed cross modules?

I use these methods and they work for me in getting either the default
resource bundle or one specified by a bundle key, from within the default
module or within a non-default module:
/**

protected MessageResources getResources(HttpServletRequest request) {
return ((MessageResources)
request.getAttribute(Globals.MESSAGES_KEY));

*/
protected MessageResources getResources(String bundle,
HttpServletRequest request,
ServletContext servletContext) {
// Identify the current module
ModuleConfig moduleConfig =
RequestUtils.getModuleConfig(request, servletContext);
// Return the requested message resources instance
return ((MessageResources) servletContext.getAttribute
(bundle + moduleConfig.getPrefix()));

RE: REPOST: Accessing MessageResource Objects from across Applica tion Modules.
Posted by Josh Holtzman <jh...@americandatacompany.com>.
Hubert,
I have not attempted to declare the same resource file in each module config
file. I will try and do that but I don't think it will make a difference.
I have pages in my "/extranet" module that successfully use the Struts html
image tag to retrieve values from my "/extranet" resource bundle. For
example the following tag works just fine:
<html:img srcKey="global.common.logo.src" altKey="global.common.logo.alt"
bundle="<%=bundle%>"/>
Where bundle="MESSAGES_EXTRANET/extranet".
This leads me to believe it is not an issue in the config file, but I'll
surely test out your suggestion.
Thanks again for all the help.

It's true that message resources are per module. Have you tried just
declaring that same resource in the struts-config of the modules needing
that resource?
In both your main struts-config.xml and struts-config-something.xml, try
using the same <message-resources> entry.
