Would anybody else find it useful if the '<bean:message ...>' tag was modified to allow it to read a message key and arguments from a bean? What I propose is to add an optional 'name' attribute to the tag that identifies the bean to use. If this attribute is not set the tag behaves as it currently does. If it is set the 'key' and 'argX' attributes refer to properties of the bean from which the message key and arguments are read. As an example something like this: <jsp:useBean id="aBean" class="package.Class"/> <bean:message key="<%= aBean.getMessage() %>" arg0="<%= aBean.getArg0() %>"/> could then be written as follows: <jsp:useBean id="aBean" class="package.Class"/> <bean:message name="aBean" key="message" arg0="arg0"/> ------------------------------------------- Howard Moore Senior Software Engineer Datapulse CTI Tel : +44 (0)1491 418000 Fax : +44 (0)1491 411459 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
