help with messages using bean on jsp
I have a peculiar problem cropping up with Struts 1.2.7...
When I add an actionError to using my form bean and then go to display
it in the html jsp page I get the following:
* ???en_US.userid is a required value.???
* ???en_US.password is a required value.???
My struts-config.xml file looks like this for the message resources:
<message-resources null="false"
parameter="tonyapp.ApplicationMessageResources"/>
If I turn the null to true I get nothing rendered-the
ApplicationMessageResources file is in the proper location and moving it
results in the message not being displayed (as a test). The HTML
elements that are attempting to output the values are:
<logic:messagesPresent>
<ul>
<html:messages id="errmsgs">
<li><bean:message name="errmsgs"/></li>
</html:messages>
</ul>
</logic:messagesPresent>
And finally the loginForm java code that is doing this is at:
if (getUsername() == null || getUsername().length() < 1) {
errors.add( ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new
ActionMessage("global.required", "userid" ) );
}
if (getPassword() == null || getPassword().length() < 1) {
errors.add( ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new
ActionMessage("global.required", "password") );
}
The properties file looks like this:
global.required={0} is a required value.
I am developing with Eclipse and using tomcat 5.5 with jdk 1.5. This is
baffling to me as to why it is prepending the en_US to the value of the
key after it looks it up. I actually get the message and the
substitution but somehow the en_US gets put in and it flags an error
that it cannot find the message (indicated by the ???).
On another note I have had quite a bit of difficulty using the
bean:write tags with bean properties that do not return Strings...Some
of my beans return integers and the bean:write tag just fails and causes
the rest of the page after the failure to not even render....Not sure if
it is something with this particular library or not..
Any help would be very appreciated. I looked through the release notes
on the new struts 1.2.7 and did not see any fixes....
Thanks,
Tony

Tony-
This is ok if you dont want to use locale-specific resource strings (you
just want to display the non-locale specific string)
If you do want to use locale-specific resource strings (from your resource
bundle) I would not use <bean:display but <bean:message
key="PutFullyQualfiedNameOfKeyHere" />
All the same I'm glad the former solution worked for you,

Re: help with messages using bean on jsp
Posted by Tony Dahbura <to...@dahbura.com>.
All:
Figured out the problem....:
My JSP page was trying to display the messages using the following code:
<ul>
<html:messages id="errmsgs">
<li><bean:message name="errmsgs"/></li>
</html:messages>
</ul>
I should have used a <bean:write name="errmsgs"/> tag instead. I think
the <bean:mesage> tag was trying to lookup the message as the key to a
message rather than just displaying the message?
Thanks,
Tony

Re: help with messages using bean on jsp

Tony-
to allow access by your Struts app's bean tag set the struts-config.xml
<message-resources parameter=test.ApplicationResources"/>
(ApplicationResources.properties is located in test folder off root)
Now you can have multiple <message-resources with key="PropertyKey" to
identify the particular ApplicationResources implementation
You can use bean:message to pull the parameter and substitute your
parameters in
<bean:message key="label.welcome" arg0="Ralph" arg1="Nader"/>
But JSTL is better suited for internationalisation and message formatting so
entering the bundle identifier in web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext</param-name>
<param-value>ApplicationResources</param-value>
</context-param>
later on in your jsp
<%@ taglib uri=http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt prefix="fmt"%>
and now do your substitution..
<fmt:message key="buttonsubmit" bundle="${bundleToUse}"/> where bundleToUse
is ApplicationResources.properties
In this way all of your strings will be assigned to locale specific
properties file
HTH,
Martin-

I do not have a ApplicationMessageResources_en_US.properties but I do
have a ApplicationMessageResources.properties file with the following
properties:
global.required={0} is a required value.
As can be seen the actual substitution is taking place. I pass "userid"
and it replaces the string with "userid is a required value"
so the substitution is working but the message is prepended with en_US
Any help would be appreciated it!

Tony-
More specifically you will need a
ApplicationMessageResources_en_US.property which would be located in
web-inf\classes\tonyapp folder
where the property key value would display something like
userid=some_username
password=some_password

This does look strange - its almost as if the message has been resolved
twice and the second time it can't find "userid is a required value" as a
key and so formatting it in the standard "???localeKey.messageKey???" format
I don't have time to help you - I'm away now for a few days, but the only
thing I can suggest is to turn logging on in "TRACE" mode for
PropertyMessagesResources - it outputs quite a bit of debugging info, which
might shed more light on this.
On your bean:write problem, it would be helpful to include any exception
from the logs.
Also was your app working OK in the same environment using Struts 1.2.6 or
Struts 1.2.4?
