RE: Internationalised strings and scriptlets

 I havent tried this but I am guessing you could get hold of the pagecontext
object and get a reference to the applicationresources from it - similar to
what you would do in a custom tag implementation.

Is it possible to access internationalised messages from inside
scriptlets? 

For example consider a dropdown list populated with text strings
produced by a 
 tag.  I then want to do some processing based on a
user 
selection:

 <% 
 String selectedItem = request.getParameter( "dropDown" );
 String internationalisedString = ???
 if ( selectedItem.equals( internationalisedString ) ) 
 {
// do something
 } 
 %>

How do I get a value for internationalisedString?

Thanks,
Sam

OhBoy. I would never do this. The main reason is that if ou are
internationalizing your app, you never know what the next language you are
going to support in your application. So if you wrote for some particualr
languages and you want to include an other language you need to rewrite the
whole app. I would suggest that you use a keycode (for every kind of message
out there). This keycode is mapped to a table in a database. Then redesign
your app to do something with it.

cheers,
Amar..
