If you can use jstl, you can also try <fmt:message key="field.lookupbutton"> <fmt:param> <fmt:message key="customer.label"/> </fmt:param> </fmt:message>

I keep forgetting that lots of tags can have stuff defined in their body - I always seem to look at example which have no body. cheers, Paul -----Original Message----- From: Nagendra Kumar O V S [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 August 2003 12:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Using a key as an argument to bean:message hi, u can't send the key as the argument to the bean:message, though u might want to consider this <bean:define id="realValue" > <bean:message key="customer.label" /> </bean:define> <bean:message key="field.lookupbutton" arg0="<%=realLabel%>"/> -- nagi -------Original Message------- From: Struts Users Mailing <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List Date: Friday, August 01, 2003 05:00:41 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (E-mail) Subject: Using a key as an argument to bean:message Hi, Has anyone got any ideas on how to use a message key as an argument in a bean:message call. e.g. <bean:message key="field.lookupbutton" arg0Key="customer.label"/> At the moment I am using a scriptlet to access the message resources and assign the message for the argument to a page variable. e.g. <% org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources messages = (org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources)request.getAttribute(org.apache.str uts.Globals.MESSAGES_KEY); String realLabel = messages.getMessage("customer.label"); %> <bean:message key="field.lookupbutton" arg0="<%=realLabel%>"/> This works but is a bit messy. Note that both keys are actually dynamic and come from nested beans on the ActionForm - I can't just create a fixed composite message in my application.properties. thanks, Paul ************************************** Axios Email Confidentiality Footer Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
