Multiple Message Resource Files

Hi,

My requirement is to have multiple message resource files not based on
Locale but based on the user's project.  For example,
I need to create a message bundle for Project A and another one for
Project B.

MessageResources_ProjectA.properties looks like this:

label.first = First Name
label.last = Last Name

MessageResources_ProjectB properties lookes like this:

label.first = First Initial
label.last = Last Initial

My question is how do I do this?  I believe it works similar to the
Struts Internationaliztion capablity where you can set a locale.
Is there some kind of variable I can set to distinguish what Project to
use?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,

Natalie

Sure, it's just a string, but you would most likely have to use a jsp
expression to reference it (i.e.   bundle="<%= currentBundle %>".   Either
method (JSTL or Struts) can work, I just wanted to communicate you could
achieve the same result with the Struts tag as well.

    I know that if you're using the jstl tags you can define the bundle in
    the tags. So instead of:

    <bean:message key="some.label"/>

    you'd write:

    <fmt:message bundle="${currentBundle}" key="some.label"/>

    Then you can set the value of currentBundle in your Action based on the
    current project, or store it in the session when the user selects that
    project. In any case, I'm not sure if there's an equivalent in the
    struts bean tags. If not, I'd recommend using the JTSL tags.

why would you want to?  the bundle is static - it's an absolute reference
