Especially if you're on a *nic system, that may make a difference as to whether the file can be located. I could be totally wrong, but it's worth a shot if no one else chimes in :^) > By the way I didn't found any default displaytag.properties file but only > TableTag.properties. I used it to generate my displaytag_FR.properties... That's correct. The defaults are found in TableTag.properties in the displaytag library. But you put your overrides into displaytag.properties or displaytag_xx.properties. Without knowing the specifics about why that decision was made, I'd guess it's because of how the JVM class loader works. Basically, if you have two resource bundles with the same name, e.g. com/whatever/whichever/mystuff.properties or, in displaytag's case, displaytag.properties, the first one found on the class loader's class path is the one used. Thus, if the default properties file was called displaytag.properties, the class loader wouldn't find your overriding displaytag.properties. A quick look over the code in TableProperties.java, which loads both of these properties files, will help you understand how displaytag goes about handling these separate resources. -- Rick Herrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] I haven't got time for inner peace.
