Different bundles in database

[wachtda.scsi.gmx.ch]

Hello...

I just implemented the message bundle stored in a database as descripted from Pete Muir in his blog.

Now I have some questions about that implementation.

In the object ResourceBundle I can define differents resource bundles. But I don't see any possibiliy to get a label directly from a specific bundle. If I work with the seam resource bundle, all the different bundles will be searched! (page-name, faces-messages, defined bundles from components.xml)

I call the bundle with:

java.util.ResourceBundle resourceBundle = org.jboss.seam.core.ResourceBundle.instance();

If I have different bundles in the database (viewBundle, dataBundle) is it possible to a label directly from a specific bundle without searching all avaiable bundles?

Did I missunderstanding something?

Thank you for helping

Not possible with the Seam Resource Bundle (it's supposed to be a single big bundle - if you want multiple, then use traditional resource bundles).

Thank you Pete for your answer!

Concerning to store resourceBundles in to a database I have another question...

I want to store some labels in the database, which will change at most 2 times a year. This labels I want to make cachable, whit scope application if possible. Is this a good idea and do you have a hint for me how to implement it?

thank you

Yes, use application scope, and cache them e.g. in a Map. Caching read only data is easy :) You could even outject a Map into Application scope, and add properties to it. This should be very fast.
