my code is not accessing the application.properties file

[Anil Verghese]

hiii,


i am getting an error which says

javax.servlet.ServletException: Missing message for key "inputForm.userName"


can any one tell me y?

not sure your case is similar to https://coderanch.com/t/55466/Struts/Cannot-find-message-resources

i think if you post your code here would be useful for all of us to tackle your problem

here i will have quick scan whether i will miss out some steps as below :

1) is the messageresources.property file in \web-inf\classes ?

2) do you put the key into resource file ?

3) do you put the right name for property file ? example if you code as below

<bean:message  bundle="pages" key="cn.search" />

then you should have PagesResources.property in related folder .


hope this informtion can be useful

[Anil Verghese]

can you just explain what that bundle does .I am not clear about it

[Nakata kokuyo]

when you have a resource property file and want to refer it , you need to add a bundle attribute in order to point and get the key from correct property file

say for example , you have a resource property named "PagesResource.property" , then you need bundle="pages" for this case

is it make sense to you ?

[Merrill Higginson]

If you have only one message resource bundle, it is not necessary to use the bundle attribute of the <bean:message> tag.

Ninety-nine percent of the time when you get a message like

Missing message for key "inputForm.userName"

The problem is that you've either forgotten to include a message key with this name or you've misspelled it.

hi,

javax.servlet.ServletException: Missing message for key "inputForm.userName"

it means you getting the resources file but unable to find the exact key matching "inputForm.userName" with value in resources file. check out your resources file having the same key "inputForm.userName" with value???
