Custom Message Resources

[Pat Quinn]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone ever extended the functionality as offered by the 
org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils? I want to be able to substituted 
keywords in my messages as loaded from my properties file with values from 
the database. I got this up an running by extending the MessageReources and 
defining my custom message factory in my Struts-config.xml.

So when getMessage() is called my keyword are loaded from the database via a 
thread etc.. My problem with this is as follows:

My keywords are substituted before my message keys are substituted.

Example in my properties file i have the following:
error.invalidtypes=Invalid {0} entered

//creating my ActionError
new ActionError("error.invalidtypes","#ACCOUNT");


So in my messageRecourse i have a hashMap of values as loaded from the 
database eg.
#ACCOUNT_EN - account code

This works fine if i had my message defined as the following in my 
properties file:
error.invalidtypes=Invalid #ACCOUNT entered


But i want to control the actual keyword i.e. #ACCOUNT, #SORT-CODE etc

So in short i want to check my messages for keywords (i.e. Anything starting 
with a #) after message keys have been substituted. After some initial 
investigation the best place to add this functionality would be in the 
RequestUtils.message() after it makes the call to 
resources.getMessage(userLocale, key, args)... It doesn't seem like a wise 
idea to extend RequestUtil. any ideas or suggestions gratefully 
appreciated??

Sorry Guys --- Please ignore my last email all i needed to do was overload 
the

getMessage(Locale pLocale, String pKey, Object pArgs[])

and add my keyword replacement there also previously i only overloaded
getMessage(Locale pLocale, String pKey) I hang my head in shame, but it 
is late hear so time to go home me thinks
