Same problem, I think it must be a bug of
struts 1.1,
but I found JSPs in module can get the default resources, so I define common messages in struts-config.xml like this:
then in
JSP use:
to retrive "mykey" message. besides, <bean:write> tag without bundle property specified can get module messages as well.
BTW, the validator plugin's standard messages can not be found anyway.
