struts+javascript alert/confirm i18n texts

I include an external JS file for my struts JSP.

How i can specify <bean:message key="blah.blah"/> (Application Resources messages) for my JS alert and confirm Texts !?

At present, i have only direct german messages in the alert JS function. However if my project is internationalized, i will need english texts there.

Should i pass the <bean:message key="blah.blah"/> as arugument for the JS function i am calling from my JSP !? If yes, please tell me how it should be ?

Thanks.

can't you simply do:

myFunction( <bean:message key="blah.blah"/> ) ;

or doesn't that work?

TimYates

Sorry:

myFunction( '<bean:message key="blah.blah"/>' ) ;

Otherwise, you can do:

<%
ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle( "ApplicationResources" ) ;
%>

then;

...
myFunction( '<%= bundle.getString( "blah.blah" ) %>' ) ;

(I think)

Problem is my JS is an external file, so i cannot use the <bean:message....> directly into the file.

sbockelman,
could you please explain me more ?

But surely you can call it with <bean:message tags in the function calls?

yes, i can call with function calls, but just thinking if there is a way to put <bean:message > directly in the JS

If it is not possible, i have to go with function calls.

:-) It's a really cool way of doing it :-)

I just had to give it a go, to see if it would work right ;-)
