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.

   <message-resources
   	parameter="net.viralpatel.struts.MessageResource"
   	key="myResource"></message-resources>
   
   <message-resources
   	parameter="net.viralpatel.struts.NewMessageResource"
   	key="myOtherResource"></message-resources>
   

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"/>
