For an edit page, I have an enum. My code looks something like:

<s:selectItems value="#{myEnumTypes}"
 var="enumType" label="#{messages[enumType]}"
 hideNoSelectionLabel="true" noSelectionLabel="Please select..."/>

My problem is that I am not seeing any label text... I may have a bug in my build process, but I figured that it is worth asking...

Consider a ficticious enum declaration:

package com.mycompany.foo;

public enum enumType
{
 E_ABC,
 E_PQR,
 E_XYZ;

 @Override
 public String toString ()
 {
 return name().substring(2);
 }
}

Note that I am overriding toString because this enum is saved as a string to the database, and the "E_" prefix is redundant.

For messages_en.properties, what should the entries be?

Ironically, I have tried several permutations, and nothing seems to work, hence I am considering that I may have a build problem. But it would help to have a case like this documented since most of the examples are simply constants, like "#{messages.someMessageText}".

Thanks!
