Mark, Within struts messageResources are loaded at startup and that's it, they aren't loaded again unless the app is restarted of course.
If you wanted this kind of functionality you would have to write a couple classes. 1) Write a MessageResourceFactory class that returns your specific messageResource implementation. This class would extend o.a.s.util.MessageResourceFactory 2) Write a Message resource class to provide the messages. Since you want to monitor the properties file you will want to extend o.a.s.util.PropertyMessageResources. and override the method getMessage(String localeKey, String key) then you just change the struts config to use your messageResourceFactory.

Does anyone know a way I can configure Struts to watch for changes in the application resources? If it is not possible is there a class I can overload to do it manually? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
