http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29197 PropertyMessageResources behaviour different from PropertyResourceBundle Summary: PropertyMessageResources behaviour different from PropertyResourceBundle Product: Struts Version: 1.1 Final Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Utilities AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is stated in the javadoc of PropertyMessageResources that it "reads message keys and corresponding strings from named property resources in the same manner that <code>java.util.PropertyResourceBundle</code> does." [Property]ResourceBundle defines the following order of traversal: baseName + "_" + language1 + "_" + country1 + "_" + variant1 baseName + "_" + language1 + "_" + country1 baseName + "_" + language1 baseName + "_" + language2 + "_" + country2 + "_" + variant2 baseName + "_" + language2 + "_" + country2 baseName + "_" + language2 baseName (1 is user locale, 2 is default locale) In fact, PropertyMessageResources tries these keys: baseName + "_" + language1 + "_" + country1 + "_" + variant1 baseName + "_" + language1 + "_" + country1 baseName + "_" + language1 baseName + "_" + default locale baseName This causes serious problems with localization. Example: I have the following localizations: resources.properties - default strings (English) resources_ru.properties - localization to Russian Default locale is ru_RU (Russian, Russia). A client connects with locale uk (Ukrainian). As far as there is no Ukrainian localization, I expect that he will see messages in Russian. But since there is no localization to ru_RU, he gets messages in English, which is inacceptible. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
