The fact that your i18n data is in a database isn't necessarily a fatal flaw. What Struts is actually using is an implementation of MessageResources (in org.apache.struts.util) to do its lookups -- creating or using an implementation of this that did its lookups in a database should be straightforward. Indeed, James Holmes did some work along that line that is referenced in the mailing list archives. One of the things on the TODO list for struts has been switching to use Commons Resources instead of its internal resources implementation, and that package already includes adapters for resources from lots of interesting places.
