The pattern matching exception handler Wouter mentioned allows you to throw an exception from your business tier, that has a pattern like the following:
throw new PersonServiceException("{person.unique.id.required} A unique name must be specified!"). Then within your custom-resources.properties (which are merged into your application-resources.properties you'd have the key defined: person.unique.id.required=Please enter a unique name when attempting to create a Person. So when this exception is thrown the pattern matching exception handler checks to see if it can find a pattern in the exception message "{some.key}". If it can, it, it extracts and looks up the key from the message resources and saves the message which is then shown as a struts error to the client. If the pattern is not found, the exception is propagated up to the client as usual. -- Chad Brandon - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.andromda.org _________________________________________________________ Reply to the post : http://galaxy.andromda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1008#1008 Posting to http://forum.andromda.org/ is preferred over posting to the mailing list! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
