Struts and JSTL

["PILGRIM, Peter, FM" <Pe...@rbos.com>]

Struts has a i18n implementation that predates JSTL version.
I was wondering how to use the Struts application properties
with the JSTL <fmt:bundle>? The obvious answer is point
JSTL bundle to load the Struts message bundle. In other have
two resource bundles in memory. However, is there any
plans to make MessageResources implement the 
`javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.LocaleContext' directly?

Perhaps an Adapter could be created to do this (e.g.
MessageResourcesLocaleContext or StrutsLocaleContext).  You could set it up
to be your default LocaleContext in the web.xml or via a Struts PlugIn.  I
haven't actually looked to see if a Struts MessageResources could be adapted
to a JSTL LocaleContext.  The APIs may be too different.  But maybe not.

Anyway the advantage would be that the Adapter is a light-weight object so
you don't have the problem of loading all the resources into memory twice as
you do with both loading the MessageResources and the ResourceBundle.

Such an Adapter could live in the Struts 1.1 contrib along with Struts-EL.

Short answer - no.

Reason - that would introduce a dependency on JSTL, which in turn would
introduce a dependency on JSP 1.2 and Servlet 2.3, which would be a
problem for more than a few users who are using JSP 1.1 / Servlet 2.2
containers.  We cannot introduce dependencies like this without updating
the baseline version dependency as well.
