But MessageResources in Struts also offers more facilities than using ResourceBundle directly. In particular, it does the parameter substitution thing for you in a single call. One of the items early on the 1.2.x time frame is to migrate Struts to use the commons-resources package (currently in jakarta-commons-sandbox). One of the benefits gained by doing this will be a much easier way to plug in alternative providers for the message text messages (including a way to use any ResourceBundle implementation directly), without giving up the convenience features of having things together in one method call. > David Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
