I'm trying to internationalize a simple Struts2-based webapp that uses
Freemarker as the view technology. The usage of freemarker templating
pulling values from the Action object is working fine.
But when I try to leverage Struts2's TextProvider capability via
getText(), it doesn't work.
My action extends ActionSupport which implements the TextProvider interface.
My freemarker template file contains this:
<p>${getText('welcome.message')}</p>
My properties file is: {MyActionName}.properties and located in same
directory as the java source. It contains:
welcome.message=The Welcome message goes here
But I get the dreaded freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException:
Expression getText is undefined.
To test that the resource bundle can be located, I inserted code in my
Action's execute():
String res;
try
{
res = getText("welcome.message", "default welcome msg from
execute() method");
}
catch (Throwable e)
{
res = null;
}
With the debugger, I see the res is being set to 'The Welcome message
goes here' -- which tells me the ResourceBundle is working inside
TextProvider.
So it seems the issue is Freemarker not accessing the TextProvider
interface.
Other things I've tried:
- ${text('welcome.message')} -- same result
- having my action implement TemplateMethodModel per this link:
http://weblog.masukomi.org/2009/03/12/localization-for-struts-freemarker-users/
but that didn't work either.
Can anyone provide any hints for how to get this very basic thing working?
thanks,
Tom
