Changing Struts' bean:message to JSTL's fmt:message
I converted AppFuse to use JSTL's <fmt:message> tag instead of Struts' <bean:message> tags this morning. It was pretty easy. Here's the steps I took:
1. First, I added the following to metadata/web/seb-settings.xml:
<!-- Define the basename for a resource bundle for I18N -->
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext</param-name>
<param-value>ApplicationResources</param-value>
</context-param>
2. Then I added the format tag to web/common/taglibs.jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>
3. Finally, I did find/replace with <bean:message/<fmt:message.
4. I also had to change my title and header keys in web/WEB-INF/tiles-config.xml to remove the . from the bean names. In other words, I converted title.key and heading.key to titleKey and headingKey and also made the appropriate changes in web/layouts/baseLayout.jsp.
Easy as Pie!

1. Future compatibility - it's likely the Struts' tag will be deprecated someday. The JSTL tag is a standard, and most likely here to stay.
2. The other tags that format offers - namely <fmt:formatNumber> and <fmt:formatDate> - both of which are locale-sensitive.
Other than that - just because... ;0)

Apparently fmt isn't working properly. Any clue? What am I doing wrong.

if (lang.equals("RUS")) userLocale=new Locale("ru","RU"); else if (lang.equals("ENG")) userLocale=new Locale("en","US"); else userLocale=getLocale(request); //set user locale setLocale(request,userLocale);But it does not work right now. It always uses ENGLISH. By the way in JWSDP tutorial there is a mistake. They set bundle as<context-param> <param-name> javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.i18n.basename </param-name> <param-value>messages.BookstoreMessages</param-value> </context-param>but name of paramter should be as written above javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContextPosted by Stas Sakalou on April 20, 2004 at 03:42 AM MDT #

I have been using jstl fmt tags to format currency and date values in my jsp code. My colleagues want me to remove this code and move it to the Java presentation logic.
An example: I use fmt:formatNumber value="${myBean.amount}" type="currency"
they want this to change to
c:out value="${myBean.formattedAmount}"
They reason that this makes it more flexible to maintain code, if we decide to have a different view (instead of a jsp) in future. Since the logic for formatting is in java side and not part of the view itself, they say it is easier to maintain and use the same java code to support multiple views.
I am not sure there is a significant advantage as they mention. Would appreciate comments/thoughts on this.
