Struts Exception

Hi Friends,
I am getting a weird error while running my Struts application. Following is the code snippet.

login.jsp
----------

<%@taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean" prefix="bean" %>

<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
        <title>Login page | Hello World Struts application in Eclipse</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>Login</h1>
    <html:form action="login">
         <bean:message key="label.username"/>
         <html:text property="userName"></html:text>
         <html:errors property="userName" />
         <br/>
         <bean:message key="label.password" />
        <html:password property="password"></html:password>
         <html:errors property="password"/>
        <html:submit/>
        <html:reset/>
    </html:form>
    </body>
</html>

MessageResource.properties
--------------------------------

label.username = LoginDetail 
label.password = Password
label.welcome = Welcome

error.username = UserName not entered.

struts-config.xml
-------------------

<struts-config>

<form-beans>
		<form-bean 
			name = "helloWorldForm"
			type = "com.example.form.HelloWorldForm"/>
			
		<form-bean 
			name = "LoginForm"
			type = "com.example.form.LoginForm" />		
	</form-beans>
	
	<global-forwards>
		<forward name="helloWorld" path="/helloWorld.do"/>
		<forward name="loginPage"  path="/login.do" />
	</global-forwards>

<action-mappings>
		<action path="/helloWorld"
				type="com.example.action.HelloWorldAction"
				name="helloWorldForm">
			<forward name="success" path="/helloWorld.jsp"/>		
		</action>	
		
		<action path = "/login"
				name = "LoginForm" validate = "true" input = "/login.jsp"
				type = "com.example.action.LoginAction">
				<forward name = "success" path = "/welcome.jsp" />
				<forward name = "failure" path = "/login.jsp" />	
		</action>
		
	</action-mappings>

<message-resources parameter="resource.MessageResource"></message-resources>

</struts-config>

The exception which is coming is :

I think this is a very common exception. Please help me in debugging it.

Thanks and Regards,
Sid.

Hi Friends,
Any luck in resolving the exception ? I am stuck with it and not able to find a way out.

Thanks and Regards,
Sid.

Hi,
Please do post your replies to my query. I have been trying for couple of days now without any success. I have tried changing the file location, file name, etc. but of no use. It's not budging from its exception which it had shown 2 - 3 days early. Its the same exception. I don't know why its saying "Missing message for key "label.username" in bundle "(default bundle)" for locale en_US". Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Sid.

Did you verify that the file is deployed to whatever runtime directory or archive .... the times I have seen this is when an IDE doesnt move .properties files over to the correct location.

Hi,
Yeah I verified the file ApplicationResources.properties is there under WEB-INF\classes directory in the .war file. I really am clueless why I am getting this exception. Can't move forward without solving it. It has now been more than 4 days and I am not able to solve this issue.

Please anyone help me in resolving this issue. Not getting much help from net also.

Thanks and Regards,
Sid.

Hi All,
Ultimately I found out the reason for the exception myself. I just removed resource from the line :

I think since it was directly under WEB-INF/classes directory so there was no need to mention the fully qualified name. It was enough to mention the resource file name i.e. "ApplicationResource".

Is this reasoning correct ? Please do comment.

Thanks and Regards,
Sid.

Hi Siddharth,

Your reasoning is correct according to me. The reason might be, we don't need to give fully qualified name for properties file. Have you tried placing it inside some other folder, and run the application again?

Hi Siddharth! Now I am getting the same problem
From Where did you remove the line <message-resources parameter="resource.ApplicationResources" />
Please do help me...

Thanks,
Steve.

Hi Stevenson, we would mention it in struts-config.xml
