Actually it doesn't matter whether it's a servlet or a jsp. A JSP is a
servlet after all. Now granted this is way off topic, and I would be
like wendy and do it in an action then put the properties (or some other
collection of the key-value pairs) into the request and do it that way.
With that said here is some code that will effectively do what you are
asking for inside the JSP - based on Wendy's code as I'm too lazy to
type the X extra lines :)
Note I have never gotten this to work when *.properties is in the base
WEB-INF/classes... I never really put props there anyways so for me it
would never be an issue. (I always put them in
WEB-INF/classes/resources)
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] contentType="text/html" %>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] import= "java.util.*, java.io.*" %>
<table>
<tr>
<td>key</td>
<td>Value</td>
<tr>
<%
String propsFileName = "resources/messages.properties";
Properties props = new Properties();
ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
InputStream input = cl.getResourceAsStream( propsFileName );
props.load( input );
Enumeration e = props.keys();
while(e.hasMoreElements()) {
String key = (String)e.nextElement();
String val = props.getProperty(key);
%>
<tr>
<td><%= key %></td>
<td><%= val %></td>
</tr>
<%
}
%>

Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the "in my JSP" part. I'd probably
just do
what I already posted in an Action, and stick the Properties object in
the
request/session/application [as appropriate]. I haven't done it, but
Properties extends from Hashtable, so JSTL should iterate over it with
no
problem.
I do see an org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources object in
Application scope under key org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE. Is that
where
the data in ApplicationResources.properties ends up? I don't think you
can
get at its data-- there's a HashMap, but it's protected.

Maybe someone who knows more about the internal workings of Struts can
comment; I'm guessing at this point.
