Puneet, Thank you for your response. The problem is that this does not work outside of the land of struts configuration. Using struts configuration, each jsp has access to all the keys in the Messages.properties file for its module (or actually, whichever module the ActionForm that forwards to that jsp is in). However, my servlet does not have a struts module and thus any jsp it forwards to has no inherent Messages.properties file from which to retrieve keys. It is possible to retrieve these keys from inside my servlet by using the ResourceBundle.getBundle() function with the argument being the fully qualified class name of the Messages.properties file. But when I try to access these keys from my jsp using the <bean:message> tag I get an error, leading me to believe that there must be some other place where the keys recognized by that tag are being populated, I simply don't know where.
