That's interesting behavior that is somewhat unexpected in this area which is dominated by English-speaking folks. We tend to think that the default (non-localized) version of our properties files is (of course!) going to be in English. We're pigs. What is interesting is that most of the time, we expect that the Locale will be chosen based upon the user's preferences, and then we try to serve them as best we can. The JSTL is, as you say, being extra-helpful by finding the "best match" for locale. I wonder if there's a way to tell the JSTL what the locale is for the default properties bundles...? > So I've added an empty application_en.properties file to my project > and the problem seems to be closed. You might also consider using a symlink to point either application_en.properties -> application.properties or the other way around. > Thanks for everyone's help. Always good to get to the botom of a totally weird issue. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFFU8TH9CaO5/Lv0PARAl0SAKCCqvWQJsMQScvcqP0nbbU0zwuo3ACXSeUp 6Vc00v9ByhqOTZXTTGs/dQ== =NrHm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
