Incorrect lookup sequence of resource bundle

• Key: STR-3063
• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Resolution: Fixed

• Affects Version/s: 1.0.1
• Fix Version/s: 1.3.6

Description

The following is the lookup sequence of Struts when the language of IE is "en_US"
(user locale or session locale) and the locale of JVM is "zh_CN"(default
locale).
1. ApplicationResources_en_US.properties
2. ApplicationResources_en.properties
3. ApplicationResources_zh_CN.properties.
4. ApplicationResources.properties.

There are two problems in this lookup sequence. The first, Struts should pick
up ApplicationResources.propertis after ApplicationResources_en.propertis. The
second, if ApplicationResources_zh_CN.properties doesn't exist, Struts should
pick up ApplicationResources_zh.properties. The correct lookup sequence should
be
1. ApplicationResources_en_US.properties
2. ApplicationResources_en.properties
3. ApplicationResources.properties
4. ApplicationResources_zh_CN.properties.
5. ApplicationResources_zh.properties.

Since Struts 1.3.6 the PropertyMessageResources can operate in three modes - see the JavaDocs for details:

Is there any plan to fix the previous release?

Thanks.

Not sure I understand the question - the latest GA release (that is 1.3.8) has this feature, so that is the fix for previous releases.
