Internationalize in spring mvc/java. Translating only first line of messages.property

I got next problem with my application. I want to internationalize my pages. On first page I have problem, because app translate only first variable. Firstly i added messages_en.properties in src/main/resources.
addGame.form.gameId.label = Game ID
addGame.form.gameName.label = Game name
addGame.form.gamePlatform.label = Game platform
addGame.form.gamePrice.label = Game price
addGame.form.gameDescription.label = Game description
addGame.form.gameCategory.label = Game category
addGame.form.gamesInStock.label = Games in stock
addGame.form.condition.label = Game condition
addGame.form.gameImage.label = Game image
Next step was add choice of language in addGame.jsp. It's work good.
<div class="pull-right" style="padding-right:50px">
angielski
</div>
Next step in DispatcherServlet-context.xml added one bean.
<bean id="localeResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.SessionLocaleResolver">
<property name="defaultLocale" value="pl"/>
</bean>
And in same file
<mvc:interceptors>
<bean class= "org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
<property name="paramName" value="language"/>
</bean>
</mvc:interceptors>
And last what i do was added language to GameController like this.
#InitBinder
public void initialiseBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
binder.setDisallowedFields("unitsInOrder", "discontinued");
binder.setAllowedFields("gameId", "gameName", "gamePrice", "gameDescription","gamePlatform", "gameCategory", "gamesInStock", "gameImage", "language");
}
Screen from page
On screenshot you can see my page after click English language. its changing only first variable. Could you tell me why?
Mine code. You can see messages_en.properties up. This is DispatcherServlet-context.xml

I haven't idea what i doing wrong. Button of changing language working well, but it's translate only first variable no more. On screen you can see en version (not default) and it changed only first variable and next variable name its from default lang. I haven't problems in console when running application just one warning like this.
WARNING: [SetContextPropertiesRule]{Context} Setting property 'source' to 'org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:gamestoreCOPIED' did not find a matching property.
#EDIT:
Hi, after few days coding and repairing errors im back there. I got new informations.
PROBLEM : Application working good.
Locale change button working good. After click on this button application generate link (if english button click: http://localhost:8080/gamestore/games/add?language=en or if polish: add?language=pl)
and language are changing.
When i want change it on english language it translate me only first word of messages_en.properties. When i make english language default - its same situation - only first word its changing.
In console 0 errors only one warning but its nothing in this topic.
Problem is when i try change language on english or use on default english its change only first line of messages_en.properties.
If i change ResourceBundleMessageSource for ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource(with changing classpath and make it good)
nothing changed.
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" />
<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8" />
</bean>
I need this line.
<mvc:annotation-driven enable-matrix-variables="true"
So i can't make mine app with HandlerMapping. But if i do it its not working.
I read a lot of informations and trying find answer in network but nothing work. Anyone got similiar problems in past?

Displaying SimpleCaptcha in Struts 2 Form

I am trying to implement SimpleCaptcha with Struts 2, so far the image is displaying. However, it is displaying at the top of the <s:form>.
register.jsp:
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
<head>
...
<s:head />
</head>
<body>
<b>REGISTER</b>
<p>Please fill up the form below.</p>
<s:form action="register" method="post">
<s:textfield label="Enter username" key="userId" maxlength="25"
size="30" />
<s:textfield label="Enter email" key="userEmail1" type="email"
placeholder="someone#domain.com" size="30" />
<s:textfield label="Re-enter email" key="userEmail2" type="email"
placeholder="someone#domain.com" size="30" />
<s:password label="Enter password" key="userPassword1" size="30" />
<s:password label="Re-enter password" key="userPassword2"
size="30" />
<img src="<c:url value='simple-captcha.png' />" />
<br />
Cannot read? Refresh page for new CAPTCHA.
<s:textfield label="Enter CAPTCHA" key="captchaAnswer" size="30" />
<s:submit value="Register" />
</s:form>
</body>
How do I make the image appear above the Enter CAPTCHA textfield as specified in the code?

The image should be generated by the captcha action. Then you provide the URL to this action in <img> tag. To implement captcha in your project follow steps below
Add the jar to your web project classpath: simplecaptcha-1.2.1.jar.
Typically inside web-inf/lib folder.
Add new action class RegisterAction
Note: The following code is using convention plugin to map actions and for simplicity DMI is used to invoke some methods of the action class when form is submitted. To turn on DMI use a constant in struts.xml:
<constant name="struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation" value="true"/>
RegisterAction.java:
public class RegisterAction extends ActionSupport {
private String userId;
private String userEmail1;
private String userEmail2;
private String userPassword1;
private String userPassword2;
private String captchaResponse;
private InputStream inputStream;
//getters and setters
public String create() {
//RegisterAction is the form bean of the current action and captchaResponse is the field of user input
String answer = (String) ActionContext.getContext().getSession().get("CorrectAnswer");
if (answer == null || getCaptchaResponse()==null || !answer.equals(getCaptchaResponse())){
addFieldError("captchaResponse", getText("error.captcha"));
}
return SUCCESS;
}
#Action(value = "captcha", results = {#Result(type="stream", params = {"contentType", "image/jpeg"})})
public String captcha() {
try {
Captcha captcha = new Captcha.Builder(200, 50).addText(new DefaultTextProducer()).gimp(new DropShadowGimpyRenderer()).build();
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
//write the image
CaptchaServletUtil.writeImage(outputStream, captcha.getImage());
//store the answer for this in session
ActionContext.getContext().getSession().put("CorrectAnswer", captcha.getAnswer());
//return image
inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(outputStream.toByteArray());
return SUCCESS;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw e;
}
}
}
RegisterAction.properties contains the following value for the error key:
RegisterAction.properties:
error.captcha=Invalid value of shown text!
so we check either pass successfully or add to errors error regarding captcha.
Add register.jsp Typically in web-inf\content
register.jsp:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Register</title>
</head>
<body>
<b>REGISTER</b>
<p>Please fill up the form below.</p>
<s:form action="register" method="post">
<s:textfield label="Enter username" key="userId" maxlength="25"
size="30" />
<s:textfield label="Enter email" key="userEmail1" type="email"
placeholder="someone#domain.com" size="30" />
<s:textfield label="Re-enter email" key="userEmail2" type="email"
placeholder="someone#domain.com" size="30" />
<s:password label="Enter password" key="userPassword1" size="30" />
<s:password label="Re-enter password" key="userPassword2"
size="30" />
<tr><td>
<img id="captchaImg" src="<s:url action='captcha'/>" alt="Captcha Image" height="45">
<img src="<c:url value='/images/reload.jpg' />" alt="Reload" onclick="document.forms[0].captchaImg.src='<s:url action='captcha'/>'+'?id='+Math.random();" style="cursor:pointer"/>
<s:textfield label="Enter CAPTCHA" key="captchaResponse" size="30" requiredLabel="*"/>
<tr><td>
Cannot read? Refresh page for new CAPTCHA.
</td></tr>
<s:submit method="create" value="Register" />
</s:form>
</body>
</html>
This will construct the Captcha and the text field to enter the value and Struts error message to show errors in captchaResponse field, plus the refresh icon.
NOTE: a good trick we used here is the javascript Math.random() function, this way prevent certain browsers like Firefox to cache the URL and keep posting the same Captcha image, this enforce it to get the new value without doing any more effort.
Here is how it will looks like:
For more details refer to the web site : SimpleCaptcha

This is just to show how I went about the solution. I was unaware you can put <tr><td> inside the <s:form>. Thanks to Roman C, I got the CAPTCHA image to display where I wanted it to.

How to display a dijit.Dialog as a popup up

I am trying to display a dijit.Dialog as a popup window. This is a new feature addition to an existing project and as I have never woked wth Dojo;s before I am struggling a bit.
I have created the pop up window but it keeps displaying as a seperate page than a popup, what am I doing wrong? Please help!
THe page where the button to show the popup
<input class="style_off pink_button ft_white" onclick='submitOnclick()' id="show_popup" type="submit" name="showPopup" value="Generate PopUp"/>
<span id="validationPopUp" style="display:none;"><c:out value=""/></span>
The script page:
function submitOnclick() {
dojo.xhrPost({
url: "${get_valpopup_url}",
form: dojo.byId("searchResults"),
load: function(data){
//Destroy widget to avoid reallocating it during parse.
if(valDialog) {
valDialog.destroy();
}
dojo.place(data, "validationPopUp", "only");
dojo.parser.parse("validationPopUp");
valDialog = dijit.byId('inputPopUpId');
valDialog.show();
},
error: function(e) {
console.log("Ajax call failed", e);
}
});
return false;
}
the pop up window

Struts 2: how to send url parameters in Action?

I try to send url parameter to Action class as described here: How to access url parameters in Action classes Struts 2
If I do like next, it works and I can get pageLevel in Action class
<s:form action="index?pageLevel=99">
<s:checkboxlist label="Select" list="colors" name="yourColor" value="defaultColor" />
<s:submit value="Submit" />
</s:form>
But next does not work
<s:form action="index?pageLevel=<%=level%>">
And this does not work too
<c:set var="pageLevel" scope="page" value="<%=level%>" />
<s:form action="index?pageLevel=${pageLevel}">
I get error
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /start.jsp (line: 86, column: 0)
According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute action
does not accept any expressions
Jsp page contains
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
How can I do it?

Have a 'level' property in your index action with its getter an setter
Something like:
public class Index extends ActionSupport {
private String level;
public String getLevel() {
return this.getLevel();
}
public void setLevel(String level) {
this.level = level;
}
}
Set 'level' as a hidden parameter in the form.
Assuming your action name is "index" and the request parameter is "pageLevel":
<s:form action="index">
<s:checkboxlist label="Select" list="colors" name="yourColor" value="defaultColor" />
<s:hidden name="level" value="%{#parameters.pageLevel}" />
<s:submit value="Submit" />
</s:form>

Try this
<s:form action="index">
<s:checkboxlist label="Select" list="colors" name="yourColor" value="defaultColor" />
<s:hidden name="pageLevel" value="%{pageLevel}"/>
<s:submit value="Submit" />
</s:form>

Ajax with struts

I have a problem using ajax with struts
I want to load dependent dropdown list using ajax. I am using struts2.
Below is the code for the jsp.
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Enter Product</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var request;
function findindex1()
{
var temp=document.getElementById("country").value;
if(window.ActiveXObject){ request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }
else if(window.XMLHttpRequest){ request = new XMLHttpRequest(); } request.onreadystatechange = showResult;
request.open("POST",'temp.action?index='+temp,true);
request.send(null);
}
function showResult(){
if(request.readyState == 4){
alert(request.responseText+"1");
document.getElementById("text").innerHTML=request.responseText; //Just to test
var val=<%=request.getParameter("index") %> -
/* document.getElementById("city").flush(); */
}
alert(request.responseText+"1");
}
function change(){
var temp=document.getElementById("country").value;
location.href='loadProduct.action';
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="fill()">
<s:form method="post" action="product.action" name="product" theme="simple">
<table id="table">
<tr><td>Country</td><td><s:select id="country" name="country.countryId" list="countryList" listKey="countryId"
listValue="name" onchange="findindex1()" ></s:select></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>City</td>
<td><s:select id="city" name="city.id" list="cities" listKey="id"
listValue="name" headerKey="city.id" ></s:select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Product Desc</td>
<td><s:textfield name="product.description"></s:textfield></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Product Name</td>
<td><s:textfield name="product.name"></s:textfield></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><s:submit id="search" name="submit" value="Search"></s:submit></td>
<td><s:submit name="submit" value="Create"></s:submit>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><s:label id="text" name="text">Text to change</s:label>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</s:form>
</body>
</html>
I have checked the code and it sets the value of the List cities in the action class on changing the value of the country dropdown in the jsp. But i am unable to reflect the changes in the jsp .
The action class function is :
public String temp()
{
String[] id=(String[])getParameters().get("index");
index=Integer.parseInt(id[0]);
cities=(ArrayList<City>)productCreateService.selectCities(Integer.parseInt(id[0]));
for(Iterator<Country> i=countryList.iterator();i.hasNext();)
{
Country c = i.next();
if(c.getCountryId()==Integer.parseInt(id[0]))
{
Country c1= countryList.get(0);
country=c;
break;
}
}
String out="";
for(Iterator<City> i=cities.iterator();i.hasNext();)
{
}
inputStream = new StringBufferInputStream("Hello World! This is a text string response from a Struts 2 Action.");
return SUCCESS;
}
All the varibles have getter setters . I know the code is messed up . Initially i testes it for cities tag. When that didnt work i tried testing on a simple tag (here id="text") . But even that didnt work .
The model, Services and DAO(though not here) are all correct.
The struts.xml file is as follows .
<!-- Some or all of these can be flipped to true for debugging -->
<constant name="struts.i18n.reload" value="true" />
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" />
<constant name="struts.configuration.xml.reload" value="false" />
<constant name="struts.custom.i18n.resources" value="global" />
<constant name="struts.action.extension" value="action" />
<constant name="struts.serve.static" value="true" />
<constant name="struts.serve.static.browserCache" value="false" />
<constant name="actionPackages" value="com.oxxo.pilot.web.action" />
<package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace = "/">
<global-results>
<result name="custom_error">/jsp/exception.jsp</result>
<result name="input">/jsp/fail.jsp</result>
</global-results>
<global-exception-mappings>
<exception-mapping exception="java.lang.Exception"
result="custom_error" />
<action name="temp" class="ProductAction" method="temp">
<result type="stream">
<param name="contentType">text/html</param>
<param name="inputName">inputStream</param>
</result>
</action>
</package>
Could somebody please tell me what am i doing wrong. If you need any part of the code please let me know . Thanks .
