spring:message

org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.MessageTag


spring:message (since 1.0)
General information
The spring:message tag provides you with internationalization support using Spring's MessageSource concept. The MessageSource is an interface providing functionality for retrieving messages. It closely resembles JSTL's fmt:message-tag, however, the MessageSource classes can be integrated with the Spring context. Also, the spring:message- tag, works with the locale support that comes with Spring.
