I keep getting a "Missing message for key..." error. Here is what the
application setup is:

1) I have an ApplicationResources.properties file located here:
\WEB-INF\classes\com\company\product\appname\Applicatio nResources.properties

2) In my web.xml file I have the following entry:

<!-- Action Servlet Configuration -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>appname</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>application</param-name>
<param-value>com.company.product.appname.ApplicationResou rces</param-value>
</init-param>



3) In that ApplicationResources.properties file I have the following:
image.company=Company Name

4) My .jsp that requests the key is in the top level directory (same
level as WEB-INF). In that file I have this:
img src="Company_Logo.gif" align="left" alt="<bean:message
key="image.company"/>"

When I try to load it, I get: Missing message for key "image.company"
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Missing message for key
"image.company" at org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.MessageTag.doStartTa g(MessageTag.java:297)
at...

This is driving me crazy! I've tried copying the Application.Resources
file to every directory I could think of but nothing helps.

What am I doing wrong? All I could find on the net is this:
The key-value pair with specified key is not in
ApplicationResources.properties file

or

ApplicationResources.properties file not in classpath (not in
WEB-INF/classes directory in specified location)

Well, it is specified, and it is in the classpath.

Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong!

Thanks!

You're missing the following, which should go in your struts-config.xml
file:
<message-resources null="true" parameter="ApplicationResources"/>

Make sure that you put it in the right place according to the TLD. It
should appear after the <controller> tag and before and <plug-in>s.

Same issue I faced,....but then realized that the message resource file name should be mentioned in the web.xml with out the extension.

So, for example,

<servlet>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com........AppControllerServlet</servlet-class>

<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>

<init-param>
<param-name>application</param-name>
<param-value>AppErrorMessages</param-value>
</init-param>

Here, "AppErrorMessages" should not be mentioned as "AppErrorMessages.properties".
