Hi, I am new to struts 2 and trying to figure out a problem that I am having w.r.t. I18n. My application is supposed to serve multiple clients per hosted instance of the application and the requirement is to somehow support the requirement of display of client specific text for the same message resource key based on the logged in user. E.g. so if an end user is logging on to the system on behalf of customer 1 the same key "welcome.user" should display message different from what another end user of customer 2 sees for the same message resource key. Note that the locale is still the same i.e. US English. I was thinking about the following solution:
Solution: I will extend ActionSupport class and all its getText method such that each key will be prefixed by something unique to the customer like customer_id before the lookup and each messageresouce file will define the same key multiple times with the customer_id as prefix as needed. E.g. cust1.welcome.user, cust2.welcome.user etc. Now my questions are: 1) If I do the above, do I always have to use the getText way of looking up the messages? If I use the key attribute of the UI tags, will the overridden getText methods be still called? 2) Also is there any major problem with the approach above to solve the particular problem I am having? Thanks and regards Pranav ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
