-----------------------------
Summary: provide better documentation and / or functionality for
localization of struts2 tag elements (select, radio, etc.)
Key: WW-4295
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4295
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.3.16
Reporter: adam brin
The <@s.text> macro is very useful for localization of text values. The
<@s.textfield tag also takes a "key" > but, the select, radio, and checkbox
options don't have good options for localization. One option raised on the
list and identified in a few places is to construct a separate map of variables
that have been localized in Freemarker and use that for localization
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5548104/struts-select-tag-localization-implementation/17258640#17258640)...
this does not seem sustainable or maintainable. Two possible methods for
addressing this might be:
# update the documentation to better identify how to localize these values in
the "approved" way
# implement a listKey parameter that like the textfield implementation or other
implementations might call getText() on the key prior to rendering
{code:title=Example Implementation for Radiobutton}
<#if parameters.listKey??>
<#assign itemValue><@s.text
name="${stack.findString(parameters.listKey)}" /><#rt></#assign>
<#elseif parameters.listValue??>
<#assign itemValue = stack.findString(parameters.listValue)/>
<#else>
<#assign itemValue = stack.findString('top')/>
</#if>
{code}
