James,

After a rethink I came to the same conclusion, the most efficient way is to check ApplicationResources.properties first, but as Lukasz points out the properties cannot be override higher up in the class hierarchy.  Which I guess would be an issue for some. One resolution would be use an alternative default location, ie in a package.properties in main/resources/myorg/.  Same basic location as ApplicationResources.properties, but there are now two places needing maintenance, and could get messy requiring too much testing.

I will have a look at the text-provider example, but StrutsLocalizedTextProvider does not look too bad, it is AbstractLocalizedTextProvider.findMessage(..) which seems expensive, as it does recursive call in every which way possible.

One of my screens does 2075 calls to AbstractLocalizedTextProvider.findResourceBundle(..), with some of the (needless?) checks for each s:text used:

Miss : 1519736165com.opensymphony.package_en_GB
Miss : 1519736165com.package_en_GB

eg limiting these to a hierarchy of myorg.myapp.whatever.struts2.myAction would help, but messy.

Cheers Greg

Hello Everyone (and Greg, Lukasz and Yasser more specifically).

      There are probably differing opinions on what constitutes "best practice" 
for properties/resource bundles and Struts 2, but as long as the set-up you use for your 
application functions effectively for you, it is probably OK.  I find having a single set 
of global properties convenient and easy to read, but it might not be as flexible as 
having multiple/hierarchical property files.

      Greg's proposal to change the order of lookup (scan the global 
ApplicationResources.properties first) is interesting, but might have some 
unintended impacts to applications whose behaviour depends on the current 
lookup order.  If there is a way to introduce the idea without impacting 
preexisting applications, that would be ideal.

      I wonder if providing an opt-in (either by configuration flag or 
specifying the provider/factory) LocalizedTextProvider variant, with a lookup 
order change similar to what Greg proposed, might be a reasonable compromise ?

      Since the current default LocalizedTextProvider does its look-ups "bottom-up", the 
new variant (or existing one with behaviour modified via configuration flag) could do its look-ups 
"top-down" (starting at the global ApplicationResources.properties and then proceeding in 
an opposite order to the current default).  Essentially, it would be more efficient for 
single-property-file applications, as in Greg's scenario (vs. the existing one which is more 
efficient for class/hierarchy text).

      Since developers can implement their own LocalizedTextProvider instances 
(the Struts Examples https://github.com/apache/struts-examples/ text-provider 
example provides a starting point), the Struts 2 Core should probably only need 
to cover the most common usage patterns.  There is already a 
GlobalLocalizedTextProvider implemented, but it only looks at the global 
application bundle (so its JavaDoc comments are misleading).

      What do you folks think ?

Regards,

      James.

Hi Lukasz :)

Excuse me... do you remember the place where caching occurs please? I
found some references of StrutsLocalizedTextProvider.getText and
followed up their parents. Also saw TextProviderSupport.java. I couldn't
find any cache for founded text :( Maybe because it's dependent to
current valueStack and cannot be cached (?)
This is combination of bundlesMap and missingBundles, also please be
aware that ResourceBundle.getBundle() does caching as well


Regards
