Re: Using bean:message from non-struts servlet
For posterity, and hopefully to help others, here's what James did: 1. Placed fmt:setBundle basename=package.name.to.messages.file.ClassName / near the top of the JSP, though I suspect the location might be irrelevant...not sure... 2. Used fmt:message key=key.name.in.properties.file/ to retrieve the specific resource message. -adam James Sanders wrote: Thank you Rahul, this was exactly what I needed.
