Hi all,
(sorry for a bit longer message)
I have encountered an interesting problem. In my struts application I am
using tiles and localization through ApplicationResources.properties files.
In my jsp page I have messages written as:
<bean:message key="label.messageText"/>
however, sometimes I would like to refer to a value defined in tiles. Such
as:
<tiles:getAsString name="messageText"/>
In the tilesDefinition.xml file I have e.g.:
--snip--
<put name="messageText" value="Hello"/>
--snip--
What I would like to do is to combine these 2 approaches and have localized
messageText without needing to rewrite it in tiles def. file. Because this
is the case in the "tiles-documentation" example supplied with tiles:
<definition.....>
<put name="messageText" value="Bye"/>
</definition>
and in another language in tiles def. _de:
<definition.....>
<put name="messageText" value="Tshus"/>
</definition>
But this implies a lot of (imho) unnecessary typing.
The solution I've had in mind would go something like this:
<definition ....>
<put name="messageText" value="label.messageText"/>
</definition>
and in the jsp there would be:
<bean:message key="<tiles:getAsString name="messageText""/>
That way I would have all the localized strings in .properties files only.
But unfortunately such nesting is not possible. I have tried using scripting
variables (as I have been facing this kind of nesting problems more often)
but did not succeed.
I would appreciate any comments how to solve this issue. Thanks.
Regards,
Radek
