It's also very easy to create your own custom DatabaseMessageResource class following the methodology that James used. Just create a trivial "DatabaseMessageResourcesFactory extends PropertyMessageResourcesFactory" to point to your DatabaseMessageResource class, then in your "DatabaseMessageResources extends PropertyMessageResources" class, override "public String getMessage(Locale locale, String key)" to read from your database (or in my case, first try to read from the database, then fall back to the flat file).
Of course, it wouldn't have been so simple if James hadn't provided a good example to work from. -Mike > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Larry Babb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: "Larry Babb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, September 13, 2004 11:56 PM > Subject: Struts Database Message Resources via OJBMessageResources > > > I found a reference to a sourceforge project that James Mitchell developed > called OJBMessageResources and I am curious to the status. > > It was last updated in April 2003.
