Hi all Im trying to i18n an application and am using the standard <bean:message key="myKey"/> tag. Everything works OK
but i want to write something like <html:link title="<bean:message key='myKey'/>"...forward="" ... /> and this just put in the quoted string without any substitution (ive tried a few variants on the quotation marks but often get messages about the bean not being found) I ve tried <bean:define name=MessageResources" id="myVar" property="myKey" type="java.lang.String".../> and then <html:link title="<%=myVar%>"...forward="" ... /> but all I get is an exception saying that the MessageResources bean cannot be found in any scope and <bean:define id="myVar" type java.lang.String> <bean:message key="myKey"/> </bean:define> now I get hashmap is null (essentially) So can anyone think of a method that works using any of these methods or something else or do I have to resort to getting the MessageResources bundle myself in scriptlet? Oh and if I do that *how* do I do that? I'm using iPlanet 6.0 service pack 1 jdk 1.2.2 struts 1.0.2 I may be able to change to struts 1.1 but its not known yet. I cannot change the server - I think that means that I cant use struts-el whatever that is because of the Sevlet specification level.
