Title: RE: html form widgets not appearing

The entire index.jsp file is included in this message so you can see the html source at the end. I havn't actually re-compiled the struts.jar file to see what was happening (because it wasn't easy to get working w/ orion server) but just by looking at MessageTag.java, I could see where in doStart() the message var came back as null and threw the exception when trying to read the key. I saw the file it was trying to read was correct by doing a println(getClass().getResource("my.properties")... in my jsp file.

I'll look at this loadLocale to see how and where to use it. Thnxs.

What does the html source look like? You also might want to check the method loadLocale() and make sure the message strings are being loaded from the file.

Heh, I've been on this prob for almost two weeks and I'm loosing motivation
in this project because of this bug. My servlet config I believe is correct.
I made it as simple as possible by putting the cais.properties file in the
~/WEB-INF/classes dir (no package path) and saying:


<servlet>
    <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>application</param-name>
      <param-value>cais</param-value>
    </init-param>

Other keys are not being found as well. I know the correct file is being
found as I println the ...getClass().getResources("cais.properties") and it
shows it's got the correct path and according to the struts code, it's
finding the file, but not the key.

I'm pretty sure I'm referencing the key correclty:

<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>

<html:html>
<head>

<title>
   <bean:message key="main.title" />
</title>
