Message resources from page flow

Question

How can I access the ResourceBoundle declared at the top of the page flow, from
the page flow?

Answer 1

I have a question that goes along with this...
Can you add formatting with any of these different bundle options? Since
8.1 SP2 now has the attribute "accessKey" on buttons, we'd like to be able
to underline the letter we are using for the accessKey. Our attempt at
using the message bundle just puts the formatting inside the button value.
When the jsp displayed this was the value shown for the button text: <u> S
</u>ubmit
Is this possible to do without using javascript? One of our team members
found a script that adds the underline, but there is alot of code to
underline one letter.
Ideas?
Thank you!

Gus,
Your welcome.
You don't need to get the bundle and pass it. You can access it directly
from the JSP. If these are validation error messages you can use the
<netui:error> tag. If the string you want to access is not for displaying
validation errors you'll want to access the strings in another manner. The
documentation in
http://edocs.bea.com/workshop/docs81/doc/en/workshop/guide/netui/guide/conDatabindingXScript.html
shows at least 3 approaches. Here is the relevant section from that
document.
bundle
The bundle data binding context references properties that you define in a
message resources file, which allows you to implement internationalizedweb
applications by not hard-coding text labels in your JSP pages.
For example, in your page flow controller class, you can add an annotation
such as the following:
* @jpf:controller
* @jpf:message-resources resources="labels.Messages"
public class Controller extends PageFlowController
{ ...In this example, the naming convention is that the message resources
file must be located in the project's /WEB-INF/classes/labels directory,and
the file must be named Messages.properties.
In the Messages.properties file, you might have a property such as:
nameLabel=Name Then in your JSP page, you can use a data bindingexpression
such as the following:
<netui:label value="{bundle.default.nameLabel}"/> Alternately, you can use
the key attribute on the @jpf:message-resources annotation:
In your page flow controller class annotation:
* @jpf:controller
* @jpf:message-resources key="foo" resources="labels.Messages"
public class Controller extends PageFlowController
{ ...Assume that the Messages.properties file in the
/WEB-INF/classes/labels directory is the same as shown in the previous
example. In the JSP page, you could use a tag such as the following:
<netui:label value="{bundle['foo/jpfDirectory'].nameLabel}"/> In this
case, your page flow controller class file is/jpfDirectory/Controller.jpf.
>
Another option is to use the <netui-data:declareBundle> tag. For example,in
your JSP page:
<netui-data:declareBundle name="someMessages"
bundlePath="com/foobar/resources/WebAppMessages"/>This tag declares abundle
that can be referenced in a data binding expression, such as in the
following example:
<netui:label value="{bundle.someMessages}"/> For more information, see the
topics about the @jpf:message-resources Annotation and the
<netui-data:declareBundle> Tag.

First of all, thanks!
I want to get a string from the bundle and pass it to a JSP in therequest.
I have defined the resources at the top of the JPF, as specified in thehelp:
@jpf:message-resources resources="mensajes"
The question is how can I get a string from the mensajes.properties
file.

I would be better able to answer your question if I knew what you
wanted
to
do. Are you trying to display the strings from the bundle?
