[-- Begin quote --] The getBundle method provides a graceful degradation algorithm that attempts to find the nearest matched bundle in cases where the specified bundle can't be found or doesn't exist. In the following search, each element of the search name is separated with an '_' (UNDERSCORE) character. The algorithm searches for bundle names in the following order: <baseclass>+<specific language>+ <specific country>+<specific variant> <baseclass>+<specific language>+ <specific country> <baseclass>+<specific language> <baseclass>+<default language>+ <default country>+<default variant> <baseclass>+<default language>+ <default country> <baseclass>+<default language> <baseclass> [-- End quote --] If a key is not found in a specific resource bundle, the next one higher up in the hierarchy is searched. The default behavior of ResourceBundle does what you need. -= J > -----Original Message----- > From: scarter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 2:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: STRUTS INTERNATIONALIZATION > > > Is there a way in struts to maintain a default application resources > file that can be referred to in the event that a requested resource is > not found in another resource file.
