working with resource.properties files in JSTL & Struts

What is recognized way to get JSTL <fmt:message> tag to share the same
resources bundle as Struts <bean:message> tag?

Thanks

Anthony

I think something like this worked for me with Struts 1.0.2. Not sure if it 
will still work with 1.1.

<c_rt:set var="messageResourcesKey"
          value="<%= org.apache.struts.action.Action.MESSAGES_KEY %>"/>

<c:set var="messageResources"
       value="${applicationScope[messageResourcesKey]}"/>

<c:set var="messageResourcesConfig"
       value="${messageResources.config}"/>

<fmt:setBundle basename="${messageResourcesConfig}"
               var="messageResourcesBundle"/>

Ah, right. That's much simpler for Struts 1.0.2. Except for the fact that 
Struts has a hand in how locale is determined. For example, the <html:html> tag 
or any piece of application code can set the session attribute named 
Action.LOCALE_KEY to a Locale instance. If set, the <bean:message> tag uses 
this when it retrieves a message. So, I guess you'd have to add something like:

<c_rt:set var="localeKey" 
          value="<%= org.apache.struts.action.Action.LOCALE_KEY %>"/>
<fmt:setLocale value="${sessionScope[localeKey]}"/>

If the value attribute of <fmt:setLocale> is null or empty, the runtime's 
default Locale is used. I believe this matches the <bean:message> behavior if 
Action.LOCALE_KEY is not set.

Of course, this all just pertains to the case where <bean:message> attributes 
for bundle and locale are not used.

With 1.1, it looks like things get even hairier...

just place a context-param element in your web.xml as a child of <web-app>.


<context-param>
  <param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext</param-name>
  <param-value>ApplicationResources</param-value>
</context-param>
