I am looking for a way to simplify my ApplicationResources.properties file. For example:
errors.header=<div ALIGN="center"><center><TABLE class="error_table"><TR class="error_tr"><TD class="error_tr">Validation Error<hr/></TD></TR> errors.footer=</TABLE></center></div> error.footageRequired.integer=<TR class="error_tr"><TD class="error_td"><img src="images/star.gif" border="0" />Footage required must be a positive integer</TD></TR> error.chkItems.required=<TR class="error_tr"><TD class="error_td"><img src="images/star.gif" border="0" />At least 1 item must be selected</TD></TR>
I basically do not want to put <TR class="error_tr"><TD class="error_td"><img src="images/star.gif" border="0" /> in front of each entry or </TD></TR> following them.
Is this already possible?
If you look at this: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-html.html#messages
You can use it like so:
<logic:messagesPresent>
<div ALIGN="center">
<center>
<TABLE class="error_table">
<TR class="error_tr">
<TD class="error_tr">Validation Error<hr/></TD>
</TR>
<html:messages id="error">
<TR class="error_tr">
<TD class="error_td"><img src="images/star.gif"
> border="0" /><c:out value="${error}" /></TD>
</TR>
</html:messages>
</TABLE>
</center>
</div>
</logic:messagesPresent>In your ApplicationResources.properties file you just need:
error.footageRequired.integer=Footage required must be a positive integer error.chkItems.required=At least 1 item must be selected
Much more tidy :) and we don't need errors.header or errors.footer
The <html:messages> tag will iterate over the ActionErrors, so you don't need to put markup in your .properties file. The <logic:messagesPresent> will mean the table will only be displayed if there are errors.
I use the JSTL way <c:out value="${error}" /> of outputting the error message, but you could use <bean:write name="error"/> I think.
