Without "key" attribute, "message-resources" element doesn't work

           Summary: Without "key" attribute, "message-resources" element
                    doesn't work
           Product: Struts
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dmkarr@earthlink.net


I have a Struts application that works under 1.1b2.  However, after building
Struts and Commons directly from source, I find that I get an exception: "Cannot
find message resources under key org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE".

I've boiled this down to the following fact: The initialization value of
"MessageResourcesConfig.key" was changed from "Action.MESSAGES_KEY" (in 1.1.b2)
to "null" in the latest in CVS.  This was apparently done by Craig on 3/23,
apparently to ensure the class is serializable.

In both scenarios (using 1.1b2 and CVS latest), the
"MessageResourcesConfig.setKey()" method is never called, so the default will be
used.

When, while stepping through the Digester, we get to
"ApplicationConfig.addMessageResourcesConfig()", the value of "key" is used as
the HashMap key.  In 1.1b2, this ends up using
"org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE" (the value of the constant
"Action.MESSAGES_KEY".  However, in CVS latest, this key value ends up being
null, which doesn't work very well.  Other code apparently expects it to be
under the "org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE" key.

I've been able to work around this in CVS latest by adding an attribute to my
"message-resources" element, setting "key" to "org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE".
