Thank you Jack, that's very kind of you, I will take a look at
modifying the taglib this afternoon.

Re: Localize a dropdown select list
Sorry, Bryan, here's the rest:
protected String convertToUTF8(String original) {
try {
byte[] utf8Bytes = original.getBytes("UTF8);
original = new String(utf8Bytes,"UTF8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {
// logging, etc.
}
return original;
}

Re: Localize a dropdown select list
Hi, Bryan,
I could not agree more. But, you might as well bang your head against
the wall as play Cassandra to this version of the Trojan Horse (JSF).
What I do in these cases is to just extend the tags. This one is
fairly easy. Here is a sample early method I built off of which you
can modify with extensions of the Struts tags to suit your taste:
public List getLocalizedLabelValueList(HttpServletRequest request,
List keys)
throws IOException,
ServletException {
List labelValueList = Collections.synchronizedList(new
LinkedList());
HttpSession session= request.getSession();
Locale locale =
(Locale)session.getAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY);
Iterator iterator = keys.iterator();
MessageResources messages = this.getResources(request);
while(iterator.hasNext()) {
String value = ((String)iterator.next());
String label = convertToUTF8(messages.getMessage(locale,value));
labelValueList.add(new LabelValueBean(label,value));
}
return labelValueList;
}

Re: Localize a dropdown select list
Bryan, Here's some thoughts: - Leverage the Java language's inherent ability to internationalize things. - Leverage commons-resources to internationalize things. - Use a database to internationalize things. They aren't necessarily mutually-exclusive options, although there's little reason to use the first if you're using the second. The third can be a very powerful option, if you build your database in such a way that it allows you to store your text in different languages. Put a dozen programmers in a room and you'll come up with 20 different ways to do that - all of them better than the other, depending upon the requirements at hand. I'll leave determining a method as an exercise to you. What I'm trying to say, and probably doing an exceedingly poor job of is that the view really should just display data. Your model, invoked through your actions, should determine the apropriate data to hand over to the view. Beyond that, it's really moot how you do it. My personal tendency is to use some sort of resource bundle, commons-resources or other, to handle the "static" items, and to handle a database for dynamic ones. Google "Java i18n", "Java internationalization", or visit jakarta.apache.org/commons/resources for the static approaches. Good Luck!
