Since there is no way right now to specify the bundle for the message resource lookup, the default resource bundle is always used for these message resource lookups in the commons-validator packaged with the Struts 1.1 release. I'm not certain, but, one way around this in Struts 1.1 could be the use of modules. I do use multiple resource files, but, I don't use modules as of yet. I'm not suggesting you convert something to use modules just for this, but, you would have a separate default bundle for each module in that case. If that did work though, it would mean that you would have to replicate the common error message resources to the default bundle for each module. Which is the flip side of the same problem given the inability to specify the bundle for validations right now. What you really want is the bundle attribute in your validation elements that specify keys for message resources. I wouldn't be surprised if adding the ability to specify the bundle optionally when specifying message resources in your validation.xml is on the near future roadmap for the validation framework. I do know this issue has been raised before. Cheers, Van P.S. Heck, I'd even be willing to work on this particular feature myself in the commons-validator. I took great care in setting up my last project with separate config files and resource files for individual sections of the app only to find out that all validation messages had to go in the one default resource file for the app. :-( --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
