Summary: Cannot load properties files from within war files

Initial Comment:
I'm using JBoss 1.2.1 with Tomcat, struts and tiles. My 
web application is packed in a war file. I want to 
customize the paging text that appears at the bottom 
of the table. 

I've defined a DisplayPropertiesLoaderServlet and 
configured the properties.filename parameter to 
be "WEB-INF/displaytag.properties" (I've also tried with 
a leading /).

All files appear to be in place inside the war file, 
however, I get the following error:

[ServletException in:/views/test.jsp] Unable to load file 
null/WEB-INF/displaytag.properties'

The source for the problem seems to be the call to 
ServletContext.getRealPath() in 
DisplayPropertiesLoaderServlet.java.

According to the spec, a call to getRealPath() can fail 
within war files as there might be no real path for the 
file. I suggest using the getResource() call instead.

A temporary workaround is to pass the properties to 
each and every table - but this is really not elegant...

Properties configuration is being substantially revised; it
should be in the beta-2 release.  The taglib will
automatically detect a properties file called
displaytag.properties, so the loader Servlet will not be
required.

Another workaround is to un-war the application. In JBoss
you need to un-war to a directory with the same name - e.g.
${JBOSS}/server/default/deploy/strutsclient.war
