Description Leo Mekenkamp 2003-06-18 14:44:07 UTC 
According to section 8.10.3 of the jstl spec
'javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.basename' could be used to specify the default
bundle that <fmt:message> tags should use. Specifying this parameter in web.xml
however causes a <fmt:message> tag to display "???<key>???".

Putting a <fmt:setBundle basename="<xxx>"/> at the beginning of the jsp
containing the <fmt:message> tag does work as it should.

I believe you are not looking at the final release of the JSTL spec.

The configuration setting is defined as follows in section 8.11.3:

8.11.3 I18n Localization Context

Specifies the default i18n localization context to be used by the i18n-capable
formatting actions. A String value is interpreted as a resource bundle basename.
Variable name: javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext
Java Constant: Config.FMT_LOCALIZATION_CONTEXT
Type: String or javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.LocalizationContext
Set by: <fmt:setBundle>
Used by:
<fmt:message>, <fmt:formatNumber>,
<fmt:parseNumber>, <fmt:formatDate>,
<fmt:parseDate>
