Can anyone see a reason why the html:text implementation in struts-html.tld
doesn't support a formatKey attribute?

I guess because there are already ways to format values which can be composed with <html:text/> so it doesn't *need* to support it. If there's some reason that approach wont work in some situation or other, or if you feel strongly that the convenience of adding formatKey to <html:text/> and/or other tags outweighs the API bloat, you can submit an enhancement request, though.

To whom can I send patches that I write?

The best way is to open a ticket in Bugzilla and attach patches there. Posting to / nagging on the dev list is the best way to get the patches looked at and would be the best place to ask whether such patches are likely to be accepted.

Thanks,

That doesn't allow the use of the Struts HTML tags though, since you can't use a tag in a tag attribute... This will work, though:

  <html:text name="...">
    <jsp:attribute name="value">
      <bean:write name="productForm" property="listprice"
                  formatKey="format.number"/>
    </jsp:attribute>
  </html:text>

A little cumbersome, and not the only way. You can also do it without a nested <jsp:attribute/> if you don't mind creating a scripting variable.

The problem is that the <html:text> tag doesn't have a formatKey-attribute and I want the initial value to be displayed in a text-field, not as a pure
html-output.
In other words: I need struts to make a "<input type="text"
name="propertyName" value="1000,00">" out of a "...initial="1000" with
German locale set in browser.

Thans,

You have to use an initial value of "1000".

<form-bean name="productForm"
   type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
   ....
   <form-property name="listprice" type="java.lang.String"
initial="1000"
/>
</form-bean>



Then where you print this initial value, at your jsp, use formatting options:

<bean:write name="productForm" property="listprice" formatKey="format.number" />

format.number is an entry in you MessageResources.properties

For german MessageResources_de.properties:
format.number=#0.000,00

For english MessageResources_en.properties:
format.number=#0,000.00

Hi,

I'm new to this group so first of all I'm pleased to have the opportunity

to

ask questions here.

My question(s):
1) I'm trying to write an application that supports i18n with Struts.

I


use

DynaActionForm for my forms, so I defined them with initial values, e.g.:
<form-bean name="productForm"
  type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
  ....
  <form-property name="listprice" type="java.lang.String"

initial="1.000"

/>
</form-bean>
I have German and English users. My problem is that it seems to be
impossible to definie initial values for different languages. "1.000" in Germany means 1000, in UK it means 1. For German users the initial value
should be "1,000".
Is there a solution for this problem?

2) If I use the Validator framework to validate double form values, it's basically the same problem: Validator seems to know English writing rules

of

double values but "1,00" is not a valid double value for Validator, even

if

the browser's Locale is set to German.
Is there a solution?

Bye,
Michael.
