Part 1 On a jsp page I want to have a html:select of the type that has a predefined number of options, e.g. different sports. Now, I want to make use of Struts internalization where the differents locales text strings are retrieved from its locale properties file.
If I read the text strings from the Message resource file one by one then I have to edit my java code when I find out that I want another sport in my html:select. In my case a new sport is added very seldomly. Is there a nice way of using struts tags like logic:iterate together with html:select or Can I in some nice looking way with the help of MessageResourceBundle class retrieve all text strings starting with sports.* ? Part 2 Have being doing some thinking and reading, In chapter 13.4.3 (Struts in Action) I found text talking about exaktly this. Still, the "keys" array must be populated in some way. One alternative is to have a separate properties file that holds all the keys for different sports. Another alternative is to have a database table containing the keys. org.apache.scaffold.text.MessageUtils? Whereever did it go? Can't find it! Anyone? An aspect of this is how often you estimate that the information will be edited by the end user. If the end user never or almost never add new sports, then saving the i18n strings in a Resource files would be alright. However, if the end user quite frequently changes the information, perhaps would it then be more convenient to store the information in a database since it can be viewed more a part of the application rather than a part of the delivery of the product.
