Very basic question

Dear All

I have very simple problem. I am not able to get <bean:message key="title.login"/> working.

I have following configuration.

struts 1.2.9
Tomcat 5.5

My web.xml is like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"

My strus-config.xml is like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">

<struts-config>

<forward name="valid" path="/jsp/MainMenu.jsp" />
<forward name="invalid" path="/jsp/LoginView.jsp" />
</action>
</action-mappings>

</struts-config>

My jsp goes like this



<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean"%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
<bean:message key="title.login"/>
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY><p> This is very very bad.
<bean:message key="title.login"/>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I just wanted <baen:message>

I get following error

exception

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Exception in JSP: /jsp/First.jsp:8

5: <HTML>
6: <HEAD>
7: <TITLE>
8: <bean:message key="title.login"/>
9: </TITLE>
10: </HEAD>
11: <BODY><p> This is very very bad.

Stacktrace:

org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:264)

My message.properties is like

button.submit=Send for Verification
error.no.userId=<li>User ID is a required field</li>
error.no.passWord=<li>Password is a required field</li>
error.invalid.login=<li>The User ID and/or Password are invalid. Please try again.</li>
errors.footer=</ul><hr>
errors.header=<h3><font color="red">Validation Error</font></h3>You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:<ul>
label.userId=User ID
label.passWord=Password
heading.login=<H2>Enter your user information</H2>
title.login=Login Screen
title.mainmenu=Welcome
heading.mainmenu=<H1>Welcome!</H1>
label.userType=<H2>You are authorized to use this system as a</H2>
errors.required={0} is required.<br>
errors.minlength={0} cannot be less than {1} characters<br>

Where am I going wrong? I think taglibs entries are finding the required tld files in my WEB-INF but <bean:message> not working? Please guide.

From what you've shown us of your struts-config.xml file, you haven't configured the message resources. You need an entry like this:

<message-resources parameter="message"/>

You also need to make sure your message.properties file is in /WEB-INF/classes.

This link has a lot of good information about all aspects of messages in Struts.

Thanks it is really working now.
