We use struts menu for several menus on one of our sites. Currently, we
are using the standard menu-config.xml to describe the menu and a
standard properties file to provide the text displayed in the menu
(i.e., we have a property name in the title and tooltip attributes of
the <Item> and the displayed value comes from the associated properties
file). =20
=20
We now need the ability to modify the menu's text displayed on-the-fly
(e.g., we may need to add a German version of a menu title). Obviously,
we can programmatically rewrite the properties file, but I would assume
that doesn't cause the file to be re-read. It appears that Struts-Menu
uses Struts MessageResources (instead of Java property classes) and
that there are methods to add new values to the MessageResources (since
all of the different language versions are kept in a single file-unlike
java property files). What I don't know if these message resources are
singletons. That is, if I get the MessageResource and change it, is
that reflected in what the menu displays the next time around or did I
just change my local copy.
=20
Perhaps there is another way to do this. Does anyone have any
suggestions? Has anyone done anything similar?
=20
Any help would be appreciated.
