I am newbie in jquery. I would like to read Java properties file in my jsp page using javascript or jquery. I'm goggling about it but not satisfied.

My application is developed by Struts2, Eclipse Juno and Windows7. This is my javascript

 function checkedRadioForDelete(f) {
    var chx = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
    for ( var i = 0; i < chx.length; i++) {
        if (chx[i].type == 'radio' && chx[i].checked) {
            var con = confirm("Are you sure to delete?");
            if (con != true) {
            } else {
               f.action = "MyAction.action";
               f.submit();
             }
            return true;
         }
    }
    alert("Please select one.");
    return false;
 }

This is my properties file

msg.confirm=Are you sure to delete?
msg.alert=Please select one.

I would like to read confirm and alert box values from properties file. So is it possible with Ajax or jquery or javascript?

One shouldn't use scriptlets in JSP, you can easily do it using struts2 tags.

Change your Javascript in JSP as follows :

function checkedRadioForDelete(f) {
    var chx = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
    for ( var i = 0; i < chx.length; i++) {
        if (chx[i].type == 'radio' && chx[i].checked) {
            var con = confirm("<s:text name="msg.confirm"/>");
            if (con != true) {
            } else {
               f.action = "MyAction.action";
               f.submit();
             }
            return true;
         }
    }
    alert("<s:text name="msg.alert"/>");
    return false;
 }

Note: Updating my answer based on comments.

In your JSP page you can use scriptlets within javascript function (or tag) 

function checkedRadioForDelete(f) {
    var confirmMessage = '<%= properties.getProperty("confirm.message") %>';
    var alertMessage= '<%= properties.getProperty("alert.message") %>';
            var chx = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
            for ( var i = 0; i < chx.length; i++) {
                if (chx[i].type == 'radio' && chx[i].checked) {
                    var con = confirm(confirmMessage);
                    if (con != true) {
                    } else {
                       f.action = "MyAction.action";
                       f.submit();
                     }
                    return true;
                 }
            }
            alert(alertMessage);
            return false;
         }

If anyone needs help for a Web Application, please see my answer that explains the simplest method to read properties from a property file in the project directory. In summary, you will be able to populate some selected properties in hidden inputs and then read the hidden input value from JavaScript.
