Re: dynamic button names

[Peter Alfors]

It looks as though the ButtonTag and SubmitTag do not allow you to do this.

Therefore, you have a few other options.

1.  Use HTML along with the message tag...

<INPUT type="submit" name="btnSubmit" id="btnSubmit" value="<html:message
key="myBundleKey"/>">

2. Write your own custom tag.  You could extend the SubmitTag and over-ride
the getValue() call to retrieve a resoure bundle key.

3.  Last resort: Retrieve the bundle key through the message resources class
and place it into a script variable.
     Then place the script variable in the custom tag...
     This is ugly, so I would not do this unless you have a good reason to.

MessageResources bundle =
      (MessageResources)
pageContext.getServletContext().getAttribute(Action.MESSAGES_KEY);
String myValueRetrievedFromBundle = bundle.getMessage("myKey");
<html:submit property="btnSubmit" value="<%= myValueRetrievedFromBundle
%>"/>

(The code may not be exactly right.. I have not implemented this myself)

HTH,
    Pete
