Add in a message bundle from a component jar

[pmuir]

I was hoping to be able to add an extra message bundle to the seam message bundle (it should be added as the lowest priority) from an included jar (in WEB-INF/lib). I tried

<components ...>
 <core:resource-bundle>
 <core:bundle-names>
 <value>org.jboss.seam.selectitems.messages</value>
 </core:bundle-names>
 </core:resource-bundle>
</components>

in the jar/META-INF/components.xml and

<components ...>
 <core:resource-bundle>
 <core:bundle-names>
 <value>messages</value>
 </core:bundle-names>
 </core:resource-bundle>
</components>

in the ear/war/WEB-INF/components.xml, but this just tells me

Two components with the same name and precedence: org.jboss.seam.core.resourceBundle

Is there any way to do this (add extra message bundles from a jar) or do I need to add a feature request?

Are you really wanting to merge them? Would it not work to simply give your other resource bundle a different name?

<core:resource-bundle name="otherMessages">

What you're trying to do can't work. There is no way for two configurations to be "merged", one always overrides the other.

If all you need is an override, you can use <component precedence="..."

Ok. <component precedence="..." doesn't seem to work in 1.1.0GA

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no such setter method: org.jboss.seam.core.ResourceBundle.precedence

But I really do need to merge. I want to specify some default messages and let the user override them as they desire. Looks like I'll have to go back to loading the resource bundle myself and just checking the seam bundle for any overrides.

Ups. Fixed in CVS.
