Ok, thanks a lot for you help.
Can you handle different languages with your own properties file?, which
is what I want to be able to do as well.
Best regards
Lasse

Lars,
Struts loads the property files you declared in struts-config
into a class
called PropertyMessageResources, then binds that object to the
ServletContext; that's where <bean:message> tags get their data
from.
The functionality you're looking for (retrieving a collection of
keys) is
not part of the PropertyMessgeResources class, and there is no
tag support
for it (struts or JSTL). What I've done is load two copies of a
properties
file at startup:
1. Since it's declared in struts-config, one copy gets
loaded by Struts
into PropertyMessageResources, which can then be used by
<bean:message>
tags.
2. I also have a plug-in (which gets executed at startup)
where I load
my own copy of the properties file into a custom data structure
(but you can
use a simple HashMap), and bind it to ServletContext. I use the
ResourceBundle.getBundle() mechanism to find and load the file.
The first copy supports struts message tags. The second copy
(my custom
data structure) I can use to extract all or a range of
keys/values, sort
keys/values, and other more complex tasks. I've also written
methods to
return a Collection of Map.Entry's to feed to
<html:optionsCollection>, and
other goodies for the html tag lib.
