It looks like Struts is trying to lookup a value for the key "welcome.title" in a properties file and is not finding it. In your struts-config.xml file, it is telling Struts to look in the 'resources' folder for a file called 'application.properties'

Make sure that there is a file called 'application.properties' in the 'resources' folder and that there is a key and value for 'welcome.title' and 'welcome.heading' and 'welcome.message' in properties file. That should fix the problem.

You could also validate that Struts isn't finding your properties file by commenting out all the <bean:message/> tags in Welcome.jsp and seeing if the jsp prints out "Application resources not loaded -- check servlet container" when you run the application.

[Deepa Korecherla]

Thanks for the reply but, I could not find any error...the application.properties file was there and it had all the 3 key-values.
I could not understand the 2nd suggestion u gave me. I don't have any </bean:meassage> in my jsp file.

Thanks in adv.

[Anthony Watson]

Below is what the Welcome.jsp file should contain and it should in the 'pages' folder. Do you see the <bean:message/> tags now?

  
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %>
 
<html:html locale="true">
<head>
<title><bean:message key="welcome.title"/></title>
<html:base/>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
 
<logic:notPresent name="org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE" scope="application">
  <font color="red">
    ERROR:  Application resources not loaded -- check servlet container
    logs for error messages.
  </font>
</logic:notPresent>
 
<h3><bean:message key="welcome.heading"/></h3>
<p><bean:message key="welcome.message"/></p>
 
</body>
</html:html>

[Deepa Korecherla]

I tried commenting all the bean msg tags but still the error is coming.
Please help me..its becoming messy for me...
is it that hard..!!!
Thanks in adv.

[Deepa Korecherla]

hey! thanks it worked when I deleted the bean msg tags. commenting didn't work.But, why is it not working with the tags.

[Anthony Watson]

Your commenting did not work because you probably were using html style comments. If you use the jsp comments <%-- %--> then it will properly comment out tag usage.

You can go to this link to find out more documentation on the bean:message tag:
