I am developing a multi-lingual page with JSTL, when I run the code, I got the following output:
English German Spanish
???label.greeting???
???label.firstname??? John
???label.lastname??? Doe
???label.welcome???
Here is the JSP page:
<%@ taglib prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<c:set var="theLocale"
value="${not empty param.theLocale ? param.theLocale : pageContext.request.locale}"
scope="session" />
<fmt:setLocale value="${theLocale}" />
<fmt:setBundle basename="com.mycompany.multilingual.i18n.resources.mylabels" />
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="i18n-messages-test.jsp?theLocale=en_US">English </a>
<a href="i18n-messages-test.jsp?theLocale=de_DE">German </a>
<a href="i18n-messages-test.jsp?theLocale=es_ES">Spanish</a>
<hr/>
<fmt:message key="label.greeting" /> <br/> <br/>
<fmt:message key="label.firstname" /> <i>John</i> <br/>
<fmt:message key="label.lastname" /> <i>Doe</i> <br/><br/>
<fmt:message key="label.welcome" /> <br/>
</body>
</html>
