Description

Hello

I downloaded the struts 1.2.4 from location

http://mirrors.isc.org/pub/apache/struts/binaries/jakarta-struts-1.2.4.zip

I tried to run the struts-blank application in tomcat by just copying the war
file in Tomcat and it worked fine.
Then i made a project and compiled the Java classes and it throws an
exception.

While investigating the bug, I found that
in struts-config.xml,
we have entry of Message Resources as

<message-resources parameter="MessageResources" />

but in src folder, the resources file is kept at
src\java\resources\application.properties

and in classes folder The resources file is named as
classes\resources\MessageResources.properties

So when i was running the struts-blank application in tomcat by just copying
the war file in Tomcat and it was working file... but when i compiled
the 'src', it overwrite the MessageResources file by application.properties
and it started giving error on Welcome.jsp page.

I think we should either modify the struts-config.xml file as
<message-resources parameter="resources.application" />

or
1. change in src with application.properties being renamed as
MessageResources.properties.
2. modify the struts-config.xml file as
<message-resources parameter="resources.MessageResources" />
===============================================================================

I want to participate in struts development and bug fixing.
Please let me know some of the assignments, incase possible as i have great
interest in development of open-source projects.

Thanks
