Verifying Spring Message Tag Replacement

[Jaron Kayson]

So, first time poster here...

I'm converting a web portal to using spring tags as a way of globalizing the site, and while I think I've converted everything to tags it's possible I missed something somewhere... but of course it all looks the same as when I started. Is there an easy way to have the tags display differently (without changing every single tag, there's a ton). For example, is there a way to have it display the code itself instead of the proper output string, or similar? I mean, I suppose I could just add a single symbol character to every output string but that just doesn't seem like the right way to go about it.

Check the implementing class for the spring:message tag, Probably it has to be

org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.MessageTag

Download this class and you will see a method like:

protected void  writeMessage(String msg) throws IOException {
		pageContext.getOut().write(String.valueOf(msg));
	}

EDIT IT TO SUIT YOUR REQUIREMENT: For example , to tell if the message is coming from spring tag , then you can append a string like:

protected void  writeMessage(String msg) throws IOException {
		pageContext.getOut().write("FROM SPRING TAG-"+String.valueOf(msg));
	}
