Internationalisation.
Resource bundle contains (among other things):
label.password=password
The label of the field is looked up from the resource bundle:
<td><b><bean:message key="label.password" /></b></td>
The validation error in the form is keyed on that same value, looked
up from the resource bundle:
String label = resources.getMessage("label.password");
ActionMessage message = new
ActionMessage("validation.error.requiredfield", label);
errors.add(label, message);
So far, nowhere has the value 'password' been coded directly in.
So how do I extract the error in the jsp *by using a resource key
lookup*, not using the value 'password' directly?
This:
<html:messages id="message" message="false" property="password">
breaks internationalisation.
What happens when a resource bundle in another language is used. It is
no longer keyed on 'password', because the other places have used a
resource lookup to get the new value.
How do I do it so that the value of property in html:messages is
extracted from a resource bundle lookup like the bean:message is, like
the creation of the ActionError is?
