RE: Handling Missing Message Key

[Brian Styles]

Thank you very much to Daniel and Kris for their help on this.
Definately, extending the PropertyMessageResources and 
PropertyMessageResources factory is the way to go.

Unfortunately, I've changed this and come up against a really nasty error 
that I didn't have before!

If anyone can help me I'd be eternally grateful!

it seems that once I use my own ProperyMessageResources it affects the way 
the bean:write tag works!

I have some fields that are stored in the database as Integers and when I 
write them out with bean:write the string "int" gets prepended to them!!!! 
This didn't happen before.

Disaster! anyone got any clue how to stop this

thanks very much again,
Brian

I would suggest you extend PropertyMessageResources.
Overide constructor so that returnNull=true always.
Override getMessage to call super.getMessage(),
check for null, if null return key.
Very simple.  You probably have to extend the factory too.
