In my current version i use a struts-core library class called LocalizedTextUtil to load messages from the global message bundle. My code below: > {code:java} > private void initialiseMessageBundle() throws InitializationError{ > LOG.info("Loading global messages from " + DEFAULT_RESOURCE); > URL[] urls; > try { > String resourceFolder = PropertiesManager.get(Constants.PROP_RESOURCES_FOLDER); > File file = new File(resourceFolder); > if (!file.exists() || !file.isDirectory()){ > LOG.error("file not found: path(" + Constants.PROP_RESOURCES_FOLDER + ") = " + resourceFolder); > throw new InitializationError("External resource not found file not found"); > } else { > LOG.debug("resources file: " + file.toURI().toURL()); > } > URL url = file.toURI().toURL(); > urls = new URL[]{url}; > ClassLoader cl = new URLClassLoader(urls); > LocalizedTextUtil.setDelegatedClassLoader(cl); > LocalizedTextUtil.addDefaultResourceBundle("global"); > } catch (MalformedURLException e) { > throw new InitializationError("MalformedURLException occured during the messageBundle initialisation", e); > } > LOG.info("Global messages loaded."); > } > {code} >   > After updating the struts version to 2.5.17 the *LocalizedTextUtil* class is removed. Although i create a new instance of class *GlobalLocalizedTextProvider* and *StrutsLocalizedTextProvider* and used the same methods (*setDelegatedClassLoader*,*addDefaultResourceBundle*) my messages are not been loaded. Also i create a bean of these classes on struts.xml and tried to inject it but again without success. Do you have any thought how can i replace the LocalizedTextUtil in my code above? > Thank you. >   -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
