ResourceLoader and resource bundles

[nickarls]

Hi,

I have a @Name(org.jboss.seam.core.resourceLoader) component that serves messages for me from the DB. If I have validator.notNull both in my messages_en.properties and the DB, I get the DB value. Fine.

But if I try to do the same trick for the standard JSF converter messages, I get the one from the properties file. If I remove it from the file, it fallbacks to the JSF implementation.

What is the relation between JSF messages.properties, Seam messages.properties and what a resourceLoader provides?

JSF should use the SeamResourceBundle when running with Seam as long as you don't set a specific bundle in faces-config.xml
