Okay, apparently I can't read. It was a <bean:message> tag, not a <bean:write> tag! Since <bean:message> WAS ported to Struts-EL, I assume that there is something you can do with <bean:message> that you cannot do with <fmt:message>. What would that be?
I'm trying to use as many JSTL tags as possible, and I generally use the Struts-EL README.txt file to tell me what I should use. In this case, the README.txt file would have led me to use the Struts-EL tag when there is an equivalent JSTL tag. I'm not entirely conviced that I even _need_ to put labels in a .properties file. Is i18n the only reason to do so? I'm 99.9% sure this webapp will *never* need to be displayed in other than English. -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University, PA, IRM -----Original Message----- From: Kris Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 4:36 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Bean:write to c:out conversion for something in .properties file Put the following in web.xml: <context-param> <param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext</param-name> <param-value>ApplicationResources</param-value> </context-param> and then use: <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" %> <fmt:message key="prompt.username"/> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
