<fmt:message> tag problem in my JSP document

**j.gohel** · Jan 29th, 2007, 07:18 AM

In my spring MVC application i have provided i18n option by providing a messageSource in the form of a properties file.

And i am using the keys provided in this properties file in my jsp pages using the jstl's custom tag library having URI : http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt, i.e
with the following syntax :<fmt:message key="key1" />

Now i am using this in my welcome page as well as one of my forms.

The problem i am facing is in my welcome.jsp page i am not getting the key1's value instead i am getting the value as ???key1???.

While in my second form i am getting the key2's value without any problem.

Can anybody please let me know what is getting wrong??

Thanks.

Hello j.gohel

i had the same problem, first check this
you should have the bold line

Code:

<bean id="viewResolver"
   	class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
	<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" /> 
    	<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
    	<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
  	</bean>

second, try with this uri <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %> (i work with it) , notice that no has the jsp part, instead of your uri

While in my second form i am getting the key2's value without any problem.

maybe this use my uri

regards

ok man

based in this

While in my second form i am getting the key2's value without any problem.

your first jsp use this

Code:

xmlns:fmt="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"

and no works

and the second use this

Code:

xmlns:fmt="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt"

and works

well in your case instead of me, your uri work with the jsp, so
use

Code:

xmlns:fmt="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt"

in your first jsp file

it should be enough
