The name of application resources?
Hello everyone, I'm new to Struts and while discovering its magic I have short question: Is it possible to get the name of file with internationalized messages (ie. ApplicationResources.properties, or generally, the name set up in message-resources element of strusts-config.xml)? I found something like org.apache.struts.config.MessageResources in documentation, but how can I obtain instance of this class valid for actual application? Thank you very much. -jerryk. smime.p7s Description: application/pkcs7-signature
RE: The name of application resources?
Hello James. Yes, I suppose to use it in action class. This action class is responsible for changing the Locale/language of application. I know, that if I try to change to language which appropriate message file is not available, default .properties file will be used. However, I use logging in my action class and I want to log something like - No such resources available. I just want to try to check if that file exists (the name from message-resource element + parameter from reguest) and if not, log that. -jerryk. = Juraj Kazda ICQ : 135207538 = -Original Message- From: James Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 4:27 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: The name of application resources?

RE: The name of application resources?
Hello, I was trying to do this just for curiosity - learning struts. My intent was just to log an error message when someone (webdesigner/me :-)) tries to call my ChangeLang action with wrong parameters. Say, I have ApplicationResources.properties (English messages/texts) and ApplicationResources_sk.properties (Slovak messages/texts). When I call myapp/changeLang?lang=sk, it changes to Slovak languages, when lang=en, it changes back. That's ok, everything works, no error logged. When lang=anything_else, it changes to default (English in this case). But I want to log an error message, that there was attempt to change language to something for which I don't have .properties file. So I wanted to get the name of .properties files form resource-messages element, add _ + anything_else + .properties, check if that file exists and log error message. This the first what comes to my mind... I will look at that two sources, but I think it's not so important for me to get it working... I want to continue in my struts learning and maybe later I will understand all this things. But I wulod like to thank you very much for your time.

Take a look at the source code for MessageResources and it's default implementation PropertyMessageResources. You'll gain an appreciation for why this won't work (by default) and doing it yourself would be (what I consider) a non-supported modification ;) I'm not trying to discourage you. I know exactly how to do this. I just can't see WHY you need to do this. I've written my own MessageResources implementation (DBMessageResources) which allows you to store and retrieve the key-value pairs in a database. I'm almost finished with the second (XMLMessageResources). Good luck with it and let me know what you decide.

[Q]: html:img.../ and Javascript; Templates
Hello friends, I have a two problems: one with templates, and another (still) with internationalization, resp. with html:img .../ tag. First html:img .../ tag: Is it possible to have struts render the HTML img ... tag _with_ support for _all_ Javascript event listeners? I need to make rollovers with my navigation bar. However, I need to have my application internationalized too. With struts' html:img .../ tag I can achieve internationalization in a very simple and convenient way (thank you for that advice :-)), but I can't use onMouseOver and onMouseOut event listeners in that tag. While using HTML img ... tag, I have no problem with Javascript, but there is a problem with staying international... How to break this ring? Second templates: I've defined very small template framework (all the sources follows) and after running it, all files in the template which are JSP are not rendered/processed as JSP (it's just copied source to the output) . Can someone take a look at these very simple sources and tell me what's wrong? I think I'm missing something very basic, but I can't find what... BEGIN : index.jsp %@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/struts-template.tld' prefix='template' % template:insert template='/indexTemplate.jsp' template:put name='header' content='/header.html' / template:put name='content' content='/content.jsp'/ template:put name='footer' content='/footer.html' / /template:insert END : index.jsp -- BEGIN : indexTemplate.jsp %@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/struts-template.tld' prefix='template' % !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" html head titleConfer title/title /head body template:get name="header"/ template:get name="content"/ template:get name="footer"/ /body /html END : indexTemplate.jsp --- BEGIN : header.html -- - HEADER hr END : header.html BEGIN : content.jsp -- %@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="html" % h1bean:message key="welcome.message"//h1 END : content.jsp BEGIN : footer.html -- hr - FOOTER END : footer.html That part regarding content.jsp is not processed. There is shown nothing. The source from browser follows: BEGIN : result in browser !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" html head titleConfer title/title /head body - HEADER hr h1bean:message key="welcome.message"//h1 hr - FOOTER /body /html - END : result in browser -- I really don't know why it doesn't work.

Internationalization of codetables.
Hello friends, first, I would like to thank you for answers to my previous quetion. Now I have another problem - half architectural, half implementational. Imagine the situation (example): One table is dedicated to data about 'pub' (name, address, kinds of beer, ...). Kinds of beer is reference to code table, where I have columns: code, type_en, type_de, ... - for every language I would like to localize my application to there is one column with appropriate translation of beer kind (bottle - Flasche - ...). This all is because I would like to show to visitors of my page the kind of beer they can have in selected pub in their language. What should be the best architectural solution for retrieving data from code table (I will fill with them a combo box)? Because code tables are almost (or long-time lasting) static data, I was thinking about putting a Vector of beans with attributes corresponding/matching the structure of code table. That means to make one start-up servlet which will fill all the Vectors of code tables and puts them in application scope context when the application starts. But there is a problem: how to access connection pool defined by struts-config.xml to obtain connection to database? Or dou you know how to solve the whole problem better? Thank you very much for help With best regards --jerry
Getting locale attribute from session.
Hello, I'm new user of struts framework and I have a problem. I would like to make an internationalized application with _everything_ internationalized. This means that I have a nice graphics (menu too) on my pages in several language versions. I would like to obtain a LOCALE key (object) from session (inserted there by html:html locale="true" tag). And here is the problem: to be perfect, I would like to get this key by the name which is stored in org.apache.struts.action.Action.LOCALE_KEY constant. How to access the key? I've made my entering (index.jsp) file as a template file and I check the locale via logic:present and logic:match tags. But inside these tags I have to use directly the org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE keyword - it's not possible to ask for key name (by asking I mean getting the value of org.apache.struts.action.Action.LOCALE_KEY). Or is it possible? If someone knows, please help me. I have tried to check archives for this, but with no success (for what I want is hard to find right keywords... - BTW, I like the archive, it helped me several times) Thank you very much. With regards --jerry
