Message Resource

[Ravi Seshu]

HI, i have a problem loading Message Resource file. I created an application, added message-resource tag in struts-config.xml, located applicationresource.properties there..., i used <bean:message key="abc.def"/>
whose value is defined in properties file but properties file is not loaded properly..is there anyother way

any help is greatly appreciated..

Is your ApplicationResources.properties file located in the WEB-INF/classes directory? It would help if you'd show us:

* the message-resource tag in your Struts-config.xml file
* A representation of the folder tree showing where your ApplicationResources.properties file is located.

Also, see this thread.

Make sure you included struts-bean tag in JSP.

Make sure your <message-resources> tag reads:

<message-resources>ApplicationResources</message-resources>

NOT

<message-resources>ApplicationResources.properties</message-resources>

hi,
i put it in <message-resources null="false" parameter="/WEB-INF/ApplicationResources.properties" /> in struts-config.xml

is that ok...

No, it is not OK.

Struts must be able to find this file in it's classpath. Therefore, it must be in the /WEB-INF/classes directory or one of it's subdirectories.

Secondly, you should not put .properties at the end. You are telling Struts to look for a Resource Bundle, not a file. If you're using internationalization, there will be several ApplicationProperties_xx_xx.properties files.

In summary, put the ApplicationResources.properties file in WEB-INF/classes, and specify

<message-resources>ApplicationResources</message-resources>

in your struts-config.xml file.
