tiles and resource bundle

[Rick Schumeyer <rs...@ieee.org>]

In struts 1.3.x, what is the best way to use resource bundle keys 
together with tiles?  I found the following feature request, but it is a 
couple of years old...I don't know whether this was ever 
implemented...but basically this is what I'm trying to do:

    It would be convenient to implement proper i18n in tiles if the put
    & item tags
    had a "key" attribute. This way, one could specify a bundle key
    instead of a
    value to be used for a tile attribute. And example would be as foolows:

    <definition name="master" page="/layouts/master.jsp">
      <put name="title" key="webapp.title"/>
    </definition>

The only way I can think of is to use the <bean:message> tag in a jsp.  
Is there any way to specify the key while I'm defining a tile?

Hi again,
I dont think you can use tiles direct. Would be very nice-to-have but I still 
use that extra tag in the tile, passing in the key string as a parameter and then

<tiles:useAttribute name="metaKeywords" />
<fmt:message key="${metaKeywords}"/>

It's fairly clunky but I only use it for browser titles and other strings that 
need to go in the layout yet have context-specificity.
