ResourceBundle

[micael]

I am trying to get init() in a servlet to read an actions.properties file with:

ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("actions");

and the properties file is placed at

webapps/classes/actions.properties

Nonetheless, I get a "can't find bundle" servlet exception. I have the classpath properly set. Anyone know what I am not doing right? Any assistance appreciated.

I have no problem with using a resource bundle, although I place it in war file under WEB-INF/classes/. The war file is added to my ear file, which is then placed in JBoss' deploy directory. However, if you want to still place it under webapps, try webapps/"yourServletContext"/WEB-INF/classes/

I am having the same problem..I have tried putting the ".properties" file everywhere and yet no luck

Has anyone managed to find out what the problem is here? I have a properties file and I know I have its directory set up in the classpath but I still get the MissingResource exception.

I finally solved this problem by putting the properties files at WEB-INF/classes/props.properties.

But, I don't know why that should make any difference.

[hairylemon]

I don't know either. That web-inf directory is used for web servers isn't it? I'm just running a straightforward GUI application which needs to access a properties file. It looks like it needs more than simply being in a classpath directory but whatever it is, I have no clue.

I met the same problem on JBoss3.0.4_Tomcat4.0.6.
I follow your way to put all of the properties files under WEB-INF/classes/props.properties and use messages = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MessagesBundle"); in JSP page, then I still get error message: "org.apache.catalina.jsp_file : /Error.jsp
javax.servlet.jsp.jspException : java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key"

If ur .properties is definitely in ur classpath, try this

ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle..getBundle(, , getClass().getClassLoader());

I finally figured it out.

ENV: win2000,jboss3.2.1,tomcat4.1.24

i just moved my *.properties on <JBOSS_HOME>/server/default/conf and the following codes below worked.

ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MyPropeties");

rb.getString("db");
....
