Hi Martin Thanks for the answer. However, your solution relies on JSTL alone, and this works for me without any problems (see my code). What doesn't work is setting a resource bundle with my Java class, without having to set the bundle in the JSP.

I'm not very experienced with JSTL, but noticed you weren't getting any response so let me try. Have you tried setting the Locale of the ServletResponse object? I'm not 100% certain, but it seems to me JSTL *SHOULD* check this when using their I18N tags. Furthermore if you want to use a resource bundle for a bunch of tags it might do you some good to put the other I18N tags below them as nested tags: <fmt:setBundle basename="vulgarInsults"/> <!-- Notice how the bundle tag surrounds the others... --> <fmt:bundle basename="org.apache.bookies"> <fmt:message key="threat" > <fmt:param value="${address}"/> <fmt:param value="${numberOfChildren}"/> <fmt:param value="${nameOfSpouse}"/> </fmt:message> </fmt:bundle> Greetings, Martin van Dijken Madocke Interactive Media > Hi all > > Till now, all JSP pages in our application had to have the > following header > for internationalization: > <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"; %> > <fmt:setLocale value="${currentLocale}"/> > <fmt:setBundle basename="ch.xobix.i18n.translations.X2Resources" > var="bundle" scope="page"/> > > Then a message would be output like this: > <fmt:message key="longWeekday_0" bundle="${bundle}"/> > > Note that "currentLocale" is set by the controller, and > ch.xobix...X2Resources is a class that loads the messages > from a database > table. > This works well, however I think it's tedious for the web > designer to do > this manually all the time. > > My goal is to have the following: > <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"; %> > > And the message output like this: > <fmt:message key="longWeekday_0"/> > > So I tried to set it in the controller, as described in "JSTL > in Action".
