Load Resource Bundle

[jbossja]

Hi,

I'm trying to load a Resource Bundle for a particular Locale.

In faces-config.xml I have:

 <message-bundle>messages</message-bundle>
 <locale-config>
 <default-locale>fr</default-locale>
 <supported-locale>fr</supported-locale>
 </locale-config>

And in my Bean I load the current Locale in this way:

 LocaleSelector localeSelector = LocaleSelector.instance();
 Locale locale = localeSelector.getLocale();
 ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("messages", locale);

I have been able to get the Locale to "fr", but I can't load the Resource Bundle. I get a java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name messages, locale fr.

Are there any other configurations that need to be set?

I have also tried to inject the Resource Bundle using

@In java.util.ResourceBundle resourceBundle;
resourceBundle.getBundle("messages").getString(key);

but to no avail

Hi jbossja

Do you have a file messages_fr.properties in the directory /resources?

[knuwu]

I typically load Resources like this in my bean class:

ResourceBundle.instance().getString(this.label);

Attention: ResourceBundle is of type org.jboss.seam.core.ResourceBundle!

Hi knuwu,

Yes I do have a messages_fr.properties in my WEB-INF/classes directory.
I can access the properties file in my jsf pages via <f:loadBundle basename="messages" var="msg"/>.

The problem is when I'm loading the Resource Bundle in my bean class to populate a drop down list with values that are locale-sensitive.

I have tried what you suggested but it's not working.

In my components.xml file I have this:

 <component name="resourceBundle">
 <property name="bundleName">messages</property>
 </component>

Any ideas about what can be done?

resourceBundle.getBundle is a static method on java.util.ResourceBundle. Make sure you have set LocaleSelector.instance().locale to your desired locale and the access it with resourceBundle.getString()
