typical use is to use getText to acquire the property attribute as defined here <s:textfield label="%{getText('label.firstName')}" name="firstName" />modifying controlheader-core.ftl would allow you to supply neccesary call to getText
${parameters.label?html}:<#t/> <#assign mm="getText('"+parameters.label?html+"')" /><#t/> ${stack.findValue(mm)}:<#t/> <!-- you can now use the value of label as the key without intervening getText --> <s:textfield label="label.firstName" name="firstName" /> struts-default.xml defines the interceptor class as <interceptor name="i18n" class="com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.I18nInterceptor"/> http://www.docjar.com/html/api/com/opensymphony/xwork2/interceptor/I18nInterceptor.java.html which either gets/sets the request_locale parameter and pushes that to ActionContext.map <s:param name="request_locale">en</s:param> http://cwiki.apache.org/WW/internationalization.html properties are located in one of the following locations ActionClass.propertiesBaseClass.properties (all the way to Object.properties)Interface.properties (every interface and sub-interface)package.properties struts.properties 6.webwork.properties HTH Martin ______________________________________________ Jogi és Bizalmassági kinyilatkoztatás/Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité Ez az üzenet bizalmas.
