Since 1.1b1, the instance of MessageResources that you need is set in the request (under Action.MESSAGES_KEY) during request processing. The current subapp and message-resources key are used to decide which one to set. So, you will need access to the request in order to retrieve the correct instance. I could be wrong, (its happened before ;) but I don't beleive struts will ever call your constructor anyway. Look at the docs for ActionForm. It's lifecycle is described pretty well in the docs. You might have some luck with reset(). > > thanks, > mark > James Mitchell Software Engineer\Struts Evangelist Struts-Atlanta, the "Open Minded Developer Network" http://www.open-tools.org/struts-atlanta -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
