Google App Engine and getLocalizedMessage

Problem
I found a nasty problem in Google App Engine - look at this JSP code.
Sometimes it is very useful to get localized message in JSP scriplet. For instance,  to use it as a parameter to other java method or as a attribute value to a JSP tag.

<%
  String hello = LocaleSupport.getLocalizedMessage(pageContext, "Hello");
  Object params[] = { "John" };
  String helloJohn = LocaleSupport.getLocalizedMessage(pageContext, "HelloName",params);  
%>

But the code above does not work in Google App Engine (run). What is worse - it works in development mode but after deploying to Google App Engine one gets into trouble. So it is not easy to recognize this issue, particularly in a larger project.

/notworkinghello.jsp
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/taglibs/standard/tag/common/fmt/BundleSupport
 at javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.LocaleSupport.getLocalizedMessage(LocaleSupport.java:143)
 at javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.LocaleSupport.getLocalizedMessage(LocaleSupport.java:63)
 at org.apache.jsp.notworkinghello_jsp._jspService(notworkinghello_jsp.java:72)
......

What is more interesting, JSTL Code fmt:message tag is working as expected.
Solution
The only solution I found is to use BundleSupport class directly and create custom getMessage method.
It looks as below:

import java.text.MessageFormat;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;

import javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext;
import javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.LocalizationContext;

import org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.common.fmt.BundleSupport;

public class GetLocalizedMessage {

 /**
  * Replacement for LocaleSupport.getLocalizedMessage method in JSP pages
  * Before calling set fmt:setLocale and fmt: setBundle
  */
 
 private GetLocalizedMessage() {

 }

 /**
  * Gets localized message (also MessageFormated) from I18N bundle
  * @param pageContext PageContext
  * @param key Message key
  * @param params List of parameters for MessageFormat (if exists) 
  * @return localized message
  */
 public static String getMessage(PageContext pageContext, String key,
   String... params) {

  LocalizationContext loca = BundleSupport.getLocalizationContext(
    pageContext);
  ResourceBundle bundle = loca.getResourceBundle();
  String message = bundle.getString(key);
  if (params.length == 0) {
   return message;
  }
  String mess = MessageFormat.format(message, params);
  return mess;
 }

}

Then instead of getLocalizedMessage method from LocaleSupport class use method above directly - as source below.

<%
  String hello = GetLocalizedMessage.getMessage(pageContext, "Hello");
  String helloJohn = GetLocalizedMessage.getMessage(pageContext, "HelloName","John");
%>

The rest of the JSP page can be left without change. Finally the JSP page works as expected also in Google App Engine.
