http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20750 RequestUtils.retrieveMessageResources (really an RC2 bug) Summary: RequestUtils.retrieveMessageResources (really an RC2 bug) Product: Struts Version: 1.1 RC1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Utilities AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The new retrieveMessageResources method now checks all scopes looking for the MessageResources bundle. In my application, I unwittingly used the same name for my application specific beans and the message resource bundle. This is because I used the same naming convention. For example, I have a "Person" module. I created a "person" bundle and often pass around "person" beans. In RC1 this does not conflict because it searches only the application scope if a bundle name is provided. My application specific beans are using Request Scope. Now I get a ClassCastException. Since my application is only 4 weeks from going into production (fingers crossed), and I have been doing this since beta1, I consider this a serious problem(if only for me). I realize now, to my dismay, that I should have considered a better naming convention, etc. However using bundle="messages.person" or name="biz.threemv.claris.person.Person" or others is just not as appealing when writing over 100 jsps. I suggest that the original behaviour of checking Application Scope first be utilized. This will ensure that all struts developers who may have unwittingly done the same thing, do not have immediate conversion issues before using RC2 or the final release. private static MessageResources retrieveMessageResources( PageContext pageContext, String bundle) throws JspException { MessageResources resources = null; if (bundle == null) { bundle = Globals.MESSAGES_KEY; } if (resources == null) { resources = (MessageResources) pageContext.getAttribute( bundle, PageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE); } if (resources == null) { resources = (MessageResources) pageContext.getAttribute( bundle, PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE); } if (resources == null) { resources = (MessageResources) pageContext.getAttribute( bundle, PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE); } if (resources == null) { JspException e = new JspException(messages.getMessage ("message.bundle", bundle)); saveException(pageContext, e); throw e; } return resources; } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
