Re: Struts vs. JSTL for i18n

[David Graham]

Good point about the subapp situation, I didn't think of that.  JSTL's 
 tag is just as easy to use as struts'  except in 
the case of multiple sub apps.  If you're interested in how to setup the 
JSTL tag take a look here:

Use them together where it makes sense.  Struts integrates your 
properties within sub-applications, and will switch to the appropriate 
bundle for you.  This is one place you may well be better off using 
Struts itself.  Note that, with the contribution of the struts-el taglib 
by David M. Karr (should be available in nightly builds - the contrib 
area - soon), you can have the "best of both worlds".  Struts tags for 
interoperating with Struts, and the JSTL EL within them.  This is a 
powerful, handy feature.  There are, of course, areas which you can 
completely replace Struts' taglibs with their JSTL counterparts, and 
it's advised that you do so.  The JSTL is "the standard", after all.

There's a distinction here that you are missing, I think. In the Struts
case, you are taking advantage of your Struts configuration, which causes
Struts to load your resource bundles. When using JSTL, you can preload the
bundles as well, so the JSP code is almost the same.

For the default bundle, you might have:

Struts = 
JSTL = 

With a non-default bundle, you might have:

Struts = 
JSTL = 

With JSTL, you'll have to make the bundles available yourself, but once
that's done, you can take your pick over which set of tags to use.

That can't be true since JSTL comes after the Struts tag library. 

What is your definition of "easier"?

Struts vs. JSTL for i18n

[Matt Raible]

It seems that Struts makes it much easier to do i18n than JSTL.  Please
correct me if I'm wrong.

Struts = 

JSTL = 
  
   
  

Thanks,

Matt
