Accessing MessageResource Objects from across Application Modules.

[Josh Holtzman <jh...@americandatacompany.com>]

Hello,
 
I've been scouring through the archives for some direction on this but can
not seem to find an answer.
 
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
I have a custom JSP Tag that within the source code accesses the
MessageResource object with the following line of code.
 
MessageResources messages = (MessageResources) request.getAttribute(
org.apache.struts.Globals.MESSAGES_KEY );
 
When I use this tag from within the default Struts application module this
code successfully retrieves the default MessageResources object.
 
I have created an additional application module called "/extranet".  When I
use this custom tag within the /extranet module, the MessageResource lookup
stated above returns null. If I understand the javadocs correctly, it states
that the default Message resources are stored with the Globals.MESSAGES_KEY
and the concatenation of the name of the application module the
MessageResources are located.  In my case I want to retrieve the
MessageResources from the default application, so, I haven't appended
anything to the end of the key.  I have also tried appending "/" and
"/extranet" to the end of the key when I perform the lookup, and I still
receive null.
 
Once again, and light you can shed on how to correct this would be of
significant assistance.
 
Best regards to all.
