Database For Resource Properties
I have a scenario where our site allows users to enter foreign
languages in a database. So at anytime, the value of a langage value
can change. So I am unable to use the message resources as they are
static between server bumps.
Anyway, it would be great if I could actually create some type of
mechanism to create the properties from the database, and if they
change, just update the files. But I am not clear as to how to go
about this.
Any ideas? I just do not want to go to the database for each language value.
Thanks for any ideas.
PS, how do I search this list?

There's an old implementation here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=49385
Look for 'Message Resources Impls', there is a version of the struts-
example (Mailreader) that uses a database instead of property files.

Laurie Thanks for the email ....
That is what I would like to do... and hear this talked about quite a bit.
Problem is I do not know where to begin. This bit

Is there anyway you could explain a bit more at depth what is required
here? I would like to be able to create a resource bundle
implementation that does this, but I don't know if I start by
extending a class? Or where I begin my thought process here.
Anyway you could explain a bit more in depth?
Thanks

You're going to have to go to the database at *some* point. The best
thing to do is just forget about properties files in this case and use a
resource bundle implementation that loads its content from the database.
Then configure Struts with a custom ResourceBundleFactory (in
struts-config.xml) which will create instances of your ResourceBundle
implementation as needed.

Google? Gmane? Or use the various archives listed here:
