Incorrect documentation for "Developing Your Own MessageResources Implementation"

           Summary: Incorrect documentation for "Developing Your Own
                    MessageResources Implementation"
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Beta 3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: fineman@alumni.cmu.edu


[ I wasn't sure what component to put this under since the problem is pretty 
pervasive ]

Here is a quote from src/share/org/apache/struts/util/package.html:

======================================================================
Create a customized subclass of
org.apache.struts.util.MessageResourcesFactory that will create an
instance of your custom MessageResources class when the
createResources method is called.  Note that the "config" argument
to this method can be used to select families of messages in any
manner appropriate to your needs - you are not required to emulate
the "fully qualified Java class name" approach that is used by the
standard PropertyMessageResourcesFactory class.

Tell the MessageResourcesFactory class the name of the
customized MessageResourcesFactory implementation to use
when creating new factory instances.
=======================================================================

There are several places in the Struts code where you see things like:

    protected static MessageResources messages =
	MessageResources.getMessageResources
	("org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.LocalStrings");

This uses the MessageResourcesFactory class that is registered with the 
MessageResourcesFactory. It would seem that there are many places in the Struts 
code that do, in fact, depend on the Factory emulating the "fully qualified 
Java class name" approach.

One solution would be to have all of these MessageResources creations use the 
PropertiesMessageResources constructor directly.
