Greetings, To Access <bean:message key="errors.database.foreign.key" bundle="GLOBAL/order-tools"/>
struts config message resource for module /order-tools <message-resources parameter="application" null="false" /> <message-resources parameter="global" null="false" key="GLOBAL" /> My question is there a easier way to access the message resource , using this syntax The page designer would have to be aware of the where to look for the sub-application in the web.xml and also be aware to look for the appropriate resource bundle key to find out the key of the message One solution that I can think of is to check and see if there is request "prefix" value. That way the page designer would not have know about the sub-module Thank you, -S
