Hi Nick, I added this but it still didn't work... One thing that didn't make sense to me is that I have app_resources_en.properties in WEB-INF/classes, so I wasn't sure how to qualify that in a package structure, so I just put param-valueapp_resources.properties/param-value... is that right or am I misunderstanding something?

Re: JSTL messages problem
For the record, here's the general solution as well, for situations
where you can't use the element body like that. First, defining a
scripting variable:
c:set var=msgfmt:message key=msg.key//c:set
x:yyy ... attr=${msg}/
Or, to avoid the scripting variable, you can use jsp:attribute:
c:yyy ...
jsp:attribute name=attr
fmt:message key=msg.key/
/jsp:attribute
/c:yyy
This comes up on the list so often, I think I'll add an FAQ page to the
wiki :-)
