arguments for bean:message

[Ilja Smoli]

Hi!
I want to create kind of centralized jsp page for displayng messages/errors from resource file. Jsp has a folowing line of code:

 <bean:message name="msg"/>   

Now the action class which is executing puts in a request the key for this message like this:

 request.setAttribute("msg", "msg01-01");   

.
Resource file has a message under the key msg01-01. That is working fine.
Now the question is how to pass an arguments from action to this page? I mean those arguments which in other way would be handled by arg0, arg1 etc parameters in bean:message tag?
Any ideas? Or maybe example of better implementation of such page?
Thx in advance...

I fail to see the advantage in doing it this way over simply populating the ActionMessages object in the Action class and using the <html:messages> tag to display them.

Since the ActionMessages object is stored in the request, you can still use a central JSP to display them, and you will have no problem passing parameters to the message.

For more information on this, see the heading "displaying messages" in this link.

Hi
Thanks for reply.
Well I think you are right. I was thinking on this too, but for some reason avoided that way, maybe because creating ActionMessages objects requires more code in Action. Now I think I will stick to it Thanks!
