I18N Tag Library
Did any one use I18N Tag Library from Apache, I have a question on that.
I have some of the labels hardcoded in the java bean whcih are displayed on
the UI, not sure how I can convert them, Can any one throw some light on
this please.. I would really appreciate that.
in my jsp page, I am simply using this tag : <i18n:message key="label.name"
/> ..

Sorry, you are right.
The message tag in i18n does the same thing.
What is that you want to do? Is it to avoid the string "label.name" in
the code? Or is it know how to create the bundles for each language?

Do you mean internationalize them?
If this is the case, one way to do it may be using resource files for the
labels
in your bean (one resource file per language), and use the tag message from
the fmt jstl taglib.
Hope this helps

Ok, now the problem is a little clear to me. It would be more clear if
you could illustrate with sample code. It is difficult to know what's
the problem without all the information.
>From what I know, tag libs are only meant to be used on JSP or other

classes.
If you want to access data from Backend or middle application layer
into the JSP then it can be done with the jsp:useBean and
jsp:getProperty tag, as long as the Java class is a valid JavaBean
that means it should follow the JavaBean notation strictly.
You would use the MVC/ Front Controller pattern which uses Servlets to
control JSPs, inside the JSP get the JavaBean from request scope.

The documentation only covers JSPs/ Front end as it should.

Sure, I am making my application I18n complinat, reading all the labels from
the resources, I am using I18n tag libary from jakartha,
I am replacing all of my labels with i18n tag like <i18n:message key="
label.name">, <i18n:message key="label.age"> etc, it is working fine.
But I have some labels which are hardcoded in the Backend (Java file) and
and they are displayed on the UI I am struck how to use this tag in the back
end java class.
I read the documennation, nothing was mentioned about this. let me know if
you have any questions.

The description of the problem is a little vague, it would help to
know adequate relevant details.
The documentation on the taglibs and examples in i18n-examples.war
