Hi,
I'm experiencing strange behaviours with the message resources and I'm not sure
about where to find the problem.
I defined the message resources in the struts-config.xml:
<!-- ==== Message Resources Definitions ==== -->
<message-resources parameter="com.equitystory.pms.resources.ApplicationResources"
/>
In the folder named in the xml (Resources/src/com/equitystory/pms/resources/),
I created the following files:
ApplicationResources.properties
ApplicationResources_de.properties
When accessing the application with a browser "speaking" "de", I see the
correct messages, but sometimes log4j is telling me that ApplicationResources_de_DE.properties is
missing. I created this file and left it empty.
When accessing the application with an browser "pseaking" "en", the application is mixed up with german and english messages (as defined in the ApplicationResources). I created ApplicationResources_en.properties and left it empty, and now everything works fine.
The problem I now got is what happens if someone with a browser "speaking" another language is accessing the
application? It would be great if there would be an easier solution with just the two files I named above and struts
using the default file if there is no language-specific file (e.g. "ApplicationResources_de.properties" for
every browser speaking "de" and "ApplicationResources.properties" for all other languages).
Everything *should* work just as you describe... You shouldn't need the
empty files, and resource lookup should automatically walk 'up' the
hierarchy from ApplicationResources_de_DE.properties to
ApplicationResources_de.properties to ApplicationResources.properties,
skipping files that don't exist and using the messages defined in the
most specific file that *does* exist.
I would suggest deleting your empty files and then trying to determine
why you get a mixture of English and German when you're expecting to get
everything in one language or the other. It sounds like a problem with
how you have internationalized and/or localized the application -- e.g.
maybe you have some of your messages hard-coded still, or messages
missing from one of the properties files.
HTH,
