I have read the API as well as some books on the topic...but no where have I seen where this attribute could be used.
I do not believe the JSP has visibility to the ExceptionConfig, nor would it make sense to give them visibility since the JSP should not have knowledge that an exception occurred, they should just work with the ActionErrors/Messages. The ExceptionConfig is passed into the ExceptionHandler, but since there is no visibility to the ServletContext there is no way you could obtain the message-resource based on the bundle name. That is why I was asking what is the intended purpose of this attribute, maybe I'm missing something. I was hoping to use it in a subclass of ExceptionHandler so I could log the message that was associated with the Exception. -----Original Message----- From: James Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 3:18 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: ExceptionConfig bundle Attribute & Using Multiple Message Resources. >From the struts-config_1_1.dtd <!-- The "exception" element registers an ExceptionHandler for an exception type. The following attributes are defined: bundle Servlet context attribute for the message resources bundle associated with this handler. The default attribute is the value specified by the string constant declared at Globals.MESSAGES_KEY. [org.apache.struts.Globals.MESSAGES_KEY] className The configuration bean for this ExceptionHandler object. If specified, className must be a subclass of the default configuration bean ["org.apache.struts.config.ExceptionConfig"] So, by specifying bundle="AlternateApplicationResources", this would pull the value specified by the key from AlternateApplicationResources.properties instead of the default bundle. While not specifically using this in the struts-example for ExceptionConfig, it does show how to use it in the tags. -- James Mitchell Software Developer/Struts Evangelist http://www.struts-atlanta.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "Butash, Bob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 2:57 PM Subject: RE: ExceptionConfig bundle Attribute & Using Multiple Message Resources. > I have figured out how to use different message resources, based on a > response to a previous post. > > I still have not found further information regarding the bundle attribute on > ExceptionConfig. > > ExceptionConfig has a bundle attribute: > I have seen very little documentation as to what this is actually used for. > If I provide an actual ResourceBundle name here it is not used when > formatting the message to the view.
