Thank you Peter,
It has also now been pointed out to me that you can set the value of a
submit button by using a two part tag
<html:submit>
<bean:message key="submit.value">
</html:submit>
or something close to this if I remember correct. I have found it hard to
get some docs on this.
Cheers
Neil

Subject: Re: dynamic button names
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
