How to get default Locale in @Startup class?

[liudan2005]

In the @Create method of my @Startup class, I need to pull some messages from my message bundle. The normal way is to use facescontext like this:
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
facesContext.getApplication().getMessageBundle();

In a @Startup class, the facesContext is null when the application is starting up. What I really need is the default Locale that is defined in faces-config.xml. Once I get the Local, I should be able to get the bundle. I don't wanna write my own xml parser to get the boudle infor from faces-config.xml. Is there easy way to do this?

I don't understand why you have to do this in an @Startup component. Why not just do it lazily when the component is first needed?

The application initialization process takes quite a while. For our demo project, it would take a long time to process the first operation if we don't put those code in @Startup class. This is generally acceptable but not very nice in some situations(hard to explain here). Anyway, it's not gonna be a big problem. I am just a little curious to know if there's a standard way.
Thanks Gavin.

Well, the other option is to get your resource bundle the oldfashioned way, just like the built-in Seam resourceBundle component does it. Not sure why you wanted to go via JSF.

AFAIK, JSF has no "startup" event, so that is why we are using a servlet context listener to do initialization shuff.

Thanks Gavin. I guess I'll do it the old fashioned way then.
