deprecated getResources method

[David McDivitt]

I have the following code I wanted to put in a struts plugin:

servlet.getResources().getMessage("CommonFilesPath")

Unfortunately getResources is deprecated. I need to get a value from the
default message bundle, but cannot get it to work. My code is:

MessageResources messages =
MessageResources.getMessageResources("resources.ApplicationResources.properties");
String commonPath = messages.getMessage("CommonFilesPath");

The string commonPath is always null. I am sure my problem is when I create
the messages object and the string passed is inappropriate. Help would be
appreciated. Thanks

Pay particular attention to the null attribute. Setting null="false"
helps debug those situations where you request a key which doesn't
exist in your message store.

The following code works:

MessageResources messages =
MessageResources.getMessageResources("resources.ApplicationResources");
String commonPath = messages.getMessage("CommonFilesPath");

The text "properties" was removed from
"resources.ApplicationResources.properties", then it worked OK.
