Laurie, I am using Struts 2.0.8.
This is a large app, and only one module knows anything about the Web Layer. So I'm trying to introduce a 'MessageProviderService' for the non-Struts modules. I wrote a class that wraps the ResourceBundle class, so that I do not have any Struts artifacts in the other layers. I want one of these modules to create a List of all the available ResourceBundle languages. I was hoping to pass in the address of the ResourceBundles, which is stored in the 'struts.properties' file under the key "struts.custom.i18n.resources". Presumably this property is available to the Struts module, where I want to read it and pass it on to the 'MessageProviderService' class, which I want to have parse the ResourceBundle names to get the 'language' suffix, which I then want to convert to the 'language', for example 'zh = chinese'. So I have 2 problems: (1) getting the property 'struts.custom.i18n.resources', and (2) converting the suffix to the language (or I may be able to iterate thru a set of File Names with 'ResourceBundle.getResourceBundle(fileName).getLocale().getLanguage()', or something like that). I hope that is clear. Any advice, especially on point #1 would be great. - Ray Clough > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Laurie Harper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: user@struts.apache.org > Subject: Re: S2 - How do I ... > Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2007 17:01:35 -0400 > > > Ray Clough wrote: > > How do I get the Struts properties from within my application.
