Hi,
I dont think <html:link href="<bean:message key=''/>">text</html:link> will work.
There is another way how you can proceed. Read the properties file in the action class and set it using request.setAttribute() which can be retrieved in the
jsp using
<%
String val = (String) request.getAttribute(name); %>
and then set to href as
<html:link href="<%=val%>">
Hope this helps you....
