Actually, you can get localized strings from pretty much anywhere within 
expresso.  The resource bundles are grouped by Schema.  [Which is too much 
scope IMO, I agree with Kris that I'd like to see it able to be broken down 
to per-controller, etc... not to mention that using SoftReferences, we can 
save lots of memory and only tend to keep in memory the strings that we need]

I saw Peter forwarded some of the discussion to the struts developer list 
with some of this own thoughts (Thanks Peter!).  I guess the key will be 
auto-resolving ControllerResponse.getString() with the appropriate 
MessageResources class.

I also saw that they plan on using commons-resources post 1.2 so we have 
some time... but perhaps [And this is more directed towards Peter:] we 
could figure out a way to merge ISOValidValues and ValidValues, and the 
current getStrings() stuff under a single API?

Thanks for checking it out!
