use bean:message tag for configurable parameters?

[Raghu Kanchustambham]

Hi,
When I use the following line...it prints a 4 on the screen. {
selectbox.size has been defined as 4 in application.properties file }

bean:message key='selectbox.size'/

 However, the following code doesnt seem to work. Can somebody explain what
is wrong with this? I want a select box of size 4 here. The intent is to
'externalize' the size of the select box so that I can configure the size of
any select box through out the application at one place. Also if someone has
a better way of solving it, please suggest.

html:select property=filter.topicId size='bean:message key=
selectbox.size/'

html:optionsCollection name=topicsList value=id label=name/

/html:select

 Thanks much.

Regards,
Raghu

Your problem is a tricky one, so don't worry

bean:define id=selectboxSizebean:message 
key='selectbox.size'//bean:define


html:select property=filter.topicId size='%=selectboxSize%'

html:optionsCollection name=topicsList value=id label=name/

/html:select

You can't have nested struts tags. I usually do something like this,
although there's probably a better way:
c:set var=selectboxSize
  bean:message key='selectbox.size'/
/c:set
...
html-el:select property=filter.topicId size=${selectboxSize}
  html:optionsCollection name=topicsList value=id label=name/
/html:select

If you're using a JSP 2.0 application server you can use the
html:select tag rather than html-el:select
