Thanks for your reply. I'm using struts 1.1. I'm retrieving the values through an action class. The option value is passed from a jsp and the class looks up the corresponding resource.
For example somePage.jsp?q=info will look up the help.info resource in the ActionClass ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages(); String helpOutput = "help." + option; messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new ActionMessage(helpOutput)); saveMessages(request,messages); Can it be done this way so that the html is in the properties file still works when displayed on the resulting jsp?
