Multiple message resource property file in Struts

Recently I came up with a requirement where in we have to display messages from multiple bundle resource (message resource) property files in Struts using <bean:message>. Following are the steps for the same:
  1. Make an entry of message resource file name in struts-config.xml file.
  2. Once this is done, the message resource file can be accessed by using the key (in this case we have myResource & myOtherResource). The key should be used in <bean:message> tag in jsp to display perticular message from the resource property file. bundle=”” attribute of <bean:message> is used to identify the perticular property file.
    <bean:message bundle="myResource" key="somekey.in.myresource" /> <bean:message bundle="myOtherResource" key="somekey.in.myotherresource"/>
    Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
