Perhaps an Adapter could be created to do this (e.g. MessageResourcesLocaleContext or StrutsLocaleContext). You could set it up to be your default LocaleContext in the web.xml or via a Struts PlugIn. I haven't actually looked to see if a Struts MessageResources could be adapted to a JSTL LocaleContext. The APIs may be too different. But maybe not.
Anyway the advantage would be that the Adapter is a light-weight object so you don't have the problem of loading all the resources into memory twice as you do with both loading the MessageResources and the ResourceBundle. Such an Adapter could live in the Struts 1.1 contrib along with Struts-EL. > -----Original Message----- > From: Craig R.
