Re[2]: i18n and beans
Hi Craig,
the problem is the values of my bean are stored in a database and can
be changed by the users. I would prefer to keep all the values for the
bean in one table in the database.

Sounds like a good opportunity to write a custom MessageResources
implementation that grabs messages out of the database instead. Then you
could leverage the existing tags and still get the benefits of dynamic
updates to the descriptions.
