Struts2 w/freemarker and internationalization

2012-02-29 Thread Tom Hjellming 
I'm trying to internationalize a simple Struts2-based webapp that uses 
Freemarker as the view technology.  The usage of freemarker templating 
pulling values from the Action object is working fine.


But when I try to leverage Struts2's TextProvider capability via 
getText(), it doesn't work.


My action extends ActionSupport which implements the TextProvider interface.

My freemarker template file contains this:

p${getText('welcome.message')}/p

My properties file is:  {MyActionName}.properties and located in same 
directory as the java source.  It contains:


welcome.message=The Welcome message goes here

But I get the dreaded freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException:  
Expression getText is undefined.


To test that the resource bundle can be located, I inserted code in my 
Action's execute():

String res;
try
{
res = getText(welcome.message, default welcome msg from 
execute() method);

}
catch (Throwable e)
{
res = null;
}

With the debugger, I see the res is being set to 'The Welcome message 
goes here' -- which tells me the ResourceBundle is working inside 
TextProvider.


So it seems the issue is Freemarker not accessing the TextProvider 
interface.


Other things I've tried:
- ${text('welcome.message')} -- same result
- having my action implement TemplateMethodModel per this link: 
http://weblog.masukomi.org/2009/03/12/localization-for-struts-freemarker-users/  
but that didn't work either.


Can anyone provide any hints for how to get this very basic thing working?

thanks,
Tom

Try with:

p@s.text name=welcome.message//p

Thanks Josep - that works.

I thought the ${} notation was equivalent to the @s form - but I guess 
not.


thanks,
Tom
