How to embed bean:message within a template

[Jeff Trent <jt...@structsoft.com>]

Newbie here.  Just wondering how to accomplish this using templates.  

  <template:put name='title' content='<bean:message key="app.title"/>' direct='true' />

Can't seem get the bean to evaluate the message text...  Suggestions?  I tried direct on & off but no luck.

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,

Unfortunately you can't nest tags like this.  One workaround is to write
an 'eval' tag that captures its contents into a page-scoped String
object.  It's simple to write, and is a good exercise in taglib
authoring (I have one - maybe my boss won't mind if I post it).

So, your code would change to:

<mylib:eval id='myTitle'><bean:message key="app.title"/></mylib:eval>
<template:put name='title' content='<%=
pageContext.findAttribute("myTitle") %>' direct='true' />

Eval implementation left to the reader... :^)
