Struts is designed to do eactly this. You can provide your own implementations of the MessageResources and MessageResourcesFactory classes and plug them in. Look at the javadoc for the "org.apache.struts.util" package - it has a good section on "Message Resources" telling you what you need to know.

In the system, the client wants to have all the error messages, labels etc in the database instead of having them in a properties file. Please let me know that how can we extend the necessary packages provided by struts with a minimal changes and with the ability to continue using the normal functionalities provided by struts like <bean:message>, errors, ActionErrors etc. Thanks and Regards, Kamakshya --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
