bean:message with bean:write

[Jordan Smith]

Hi,
I want to display the bean:write property according to I18N.
So I thought to write:

<bean:message key="subs.<bean:write name="subscription" property="name"/>"/>

Will it work?
or what is the way to do it?
(I know which values I can get in subscription name property and declared all of them in I18N file.)

will it work?

*Did* it work?

I'm guessing no; that's not legal JSP--you can't nest tags like that. You might be able to use JSP 2 EL to do what you want, similar to:

<bean:message key="sub.${subscription.name}"/>

Obviously this would only work in a 2+ container.

What is the JSP 2 EL and what is container 2+?
Will it work with <%=subscription.name %> as well?

JSP 2 EL is the *E*xpression *L*anguage use in JSP 2.

JSP 2 is a JEE standard implemented by some application servers.

I don't know if you could use an rtexpr there; you might need to use the -rt version of the tag libraries. Personally I'd aim for the JSP 2 route first if your app server supports it.
