Struts.properties question
I know we can a property file in struts like this
struts.custom.i18n.resources=nameofFile
But is there a way to use multiple properties files? (nameofFile)
we have a lot of labels for our application and if we put everything into
one property file then it seems to get so overwhelmingly huge that its hard
to find anything in it.
Is there a way to over come this problem?

If you have any power over the data, you should change that so that you are
not getting the SSN as an integer. It's not a number in any sense of the
word except that it has digits. You never do math on it. Save it as a
String if you can.

great!
it worked out for me.
One last question, I was looking at the wiki but it seems like formatting is
only available for numbers and dates.
is it possible to format an SSN?
I am getting the SSN as an integer. but would like to show it as ###-##-####

Good point. I forgot to mention that there is a search hierarchy. I
usually put the properties
files in the same directory as the action, but they can also be "up
the chain". So, if my Action class is
com.slamd.struts2.actions.SlamdStartServerResultAction.java,
then I put the SlamdStartServerResultAction_en.properties file in
<srcRoot>com/slamd/struts2/actions.

Picked automagically by getText(). Remember to change the "_en" part
to the
two letter code for the language. I only speak English - and that
badly - so mine are all
"_en" for the moment.

Re: Struts.properties question
Posted by Bhaarat Sharma <bh...@gmail.com>.
so I can create this new property file in the same folder where my
struts.properties file resides or does it have to be in the package where
action is.
so if my action name is XXX.java the property file will be XXX_en.properties
and the properties file will be picked automatically or does it require any
changes in struts.properties? does it have to be registered there?
Thanks!!

The resource bundles can also be in files named after the Action, for
example, SlamdStartServerResultAction_en.properties, which contains
keys and values (English) for the Action
SlamdStartServerResultAction.java

IIRC this is a comma-separated list (see [1] for example); AFAIK you can
have as many as you want.
That said, messages can be put in any of the places used for I18N [2]:
package.properties, action- or interface-specific property files, and so
on: depending on how your application is structured this may be a better
way. I prefer this over the previous method, but my apps are usually
structured to allow it.
Using a resource file editing tool can also help.
