Question

Currently i have placed the Displaytag.properties in ‘src’ directory, and it is working fine. Is it posssible to have this file on some different location like src/comp/bre/sub/config ?

Answer 1

From the docs for the DisplayTag library:

For the whole web application, create
a custom properties file named
“displaytag.properties” and place it
in the application classpath.
Displaytag will use the locale of the
request object to determine the locale
of the property file to use; if the
key required does not exist in the
specified file, the key will be loaded
from a more general property file.

So in your case make sure your build scripts (or IDE) copy your displaytag.properties file from src/comp/bre/sub/config the onto the classpath.

In an IDE this is normally as simple as specifying that a particular directory contains source code. In ANT just make sure the displaytag.properties file ends up in your /WEB-INF/classes.
