Not sure how an application could not know the bundle to select. Imagine you have files xxx_de.props and xxx.props, you have a parent-son relationship between those 2 bundles (xxx is parent of xxx_de). If you look-up something for a de Locale, it looks first in xxx_de, then if not found it looks in xxx. If you look-up something for another Locale (e.g. en), it looks in xxx. In both cases, if no match is ever found for the key, it throws a MissingResourceException. Then depending on the "higher level framework", it can let the exception propagate, return null or return the key or whatever.
So in Adam's case, I just saw a possibility that if he has a xxx.props file and a xxx_en.props file, the resources could come from the xxx.props if the Locale was not explicitly set to en in the browser (e.g. the Locale defaulted to de because that's the Locale of the OS the server is running on). Now Adam, I'm seeing another possibility of confusion here. If you do not have a xxx.props file, only a xxx_en.props file and your Locale is not en, you would not find any resource for any key. Now I believe depending on how struts is configured, it could return the key instead throwing an exception when the key is not found. So this might sound stupid, but by any chance would it be your key (in german) that you're seeing as your ghost messages? BTW, I'm talking about Java ResourceBundle mechanism, not struts MessageResources, not sure if the mechanism is the same. > -----Original Message----- > From: chekuri raju [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 2:51 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: deleted ApplicationResources_de.properties ghost > > Hi Eric > i think if ur application does not know which file to read then by default > it reads AppXXXXXX_de.props file.as _de.props comes before _en.props (in > alphabatical order after de we get en) > > thanks > srinivas > > Eric Bariaux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Do you have a "default" xxx.properties file, one without _en? > This would explain why setting the browser the en gives you the correct > result and setting "nothing" or de gives you the incorrect strings. > > Eric. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Adam Hardy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 2:25 PM > > To: Struts Users Mailing List > > Subject: Re: deleted ApplicationResources_de.properties ghost > > > > Deployed my war file on a server I'd never touched before.
