Is there a way to localize error-messages produced by the system?

[Hartmut Bernecker <h....@dhw.de>]

Hi,

I have no idea how to localize errors produced by the system itselfe.

- There is no problem for me to localize the Struts-Application with
localized property files (labels, buttons, validation errors of forms
etc.).

But now an example where I don't know how to do:
A login action checks if the connection to the backend server is ok.
If not then I populate a special special error-bean in the session with
an error message to be shown:

<bean:write name="asimerror" property="error"/>

That is no problem. But how can I localize that System-Error-Message???

I thougt about using a error-key (like:
login.error.label.noserverconnection) within a JSP element like:

<bean:message key="login.error.label.noserverconnection"/>

But I don't know how to put the login.error.label.noserverconnection"
dynamically in that line of code ...



TIA for your ideas!
Hartmut

One option:
When you trap an error, look up the i18n text for that specific error.
Then place the translated text in your error bean.
Your page can then use the format:

<bean:write name="asimerror" property="error"/>

For example, when you trap the exception that you were unable to connect to
the database, lookup
"login.error.label.noserverconnection" and place the translated text in the
error bean.
