I'm not an expert but I'll try to help... The properties file is loaded using a ClassLoader. So the short answer is that the /WEB-INF/classes folder is on the class path by default. > 2) The book says the following: > The message tag is one of the most widely used tags within teh Struts tab > libraries.

You can define different properties files for different locales. This way, you externalize these strings. The file that gets loaded depends on the locale that is set. You could create a globalResources_es.properties file for Spain. This would contain all of your messages in Spanish. Then when the Locale was set to Spain these messages would be loaded instead of your default messages. -- Corey --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
