Why would you use the key attribute in ?

["Bailey, Shane C." <SH...@saic.com>]

What case(s) would provoke the use of the key attribute of

the message-resources tag in the struts config?

 

I only ask this because that was what was screwing up my

validation errors reporting from substituting the key values.

 

I think I added the key to mine early on in my Struts 1.1

development and didn't think much about it.  I thought I

should do that so that there would be no naming conflicts.

I saw the documentation saying that the module name

would be appended automagically but I didn't think that

having a key value there would be a problem.

 

I am going to stick with no key value for my message-resources

in my module but I am just curious how validation error

reporting would work with a key value for that tag?

 

As I posted before I can use bundle="<key-value>/module"

for bean:message and such.  But it seems like the

validation.xml arg0 needs a bundle attribute perhaps,

in case someone uses the key attribute for message-resources.

Some people like to load more than one message resource, for 
organizational reasons.

You can then refer to the key in the corresponding tags, to get a 
message from an alternate bundle.
