Accessing ResourceBundle using annotations in controller?

[Goll97]

Hey guys, I am hoping this is a simple question.
I'm trying to access my message.properties file, but i don't know how to do it when using annotations in my controller?

Thanks.

Let, there is a file named shared.properties. It has a property named 'login.app.url'. We will read it using annotated controller.

We have to read it in a static block in Annotated controller.

This is my annotated Controller.

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/myView")
public class MyController {
private final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(getClass());

private static String LOGIN_APP_URL;

static {
InputStream is = MyController.class.getResourceAsStream("/shared.properties");
if (is == null) {
throw new RuntimeException("shared.properties not found in classpath");
}

Properties props = new Properties();
try {
props.load(is);
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}

LOGIN_APP_URL = props.getProperty("login.app.url");

if (LOGIN_APP_URL == null) {
throw new RuntimeException("Property 'login.app.url' not found in shared.properties");
}

}
}

thanks for the reply, I found a way of doing it (I might use what you did in different scenario)

1) I auto wire the application context


@Autowired
private ApplicationContext context;

2) in any method that needs to pull a msg i do the following


context().getMessage("key", null, Locale.getDefault());

Thanks a lot for sharing the way you found.
It will help me in some cases.

I tried i18n support using SWF 2 and is ok for views when done as told in the ref guide.
But now I want the i18n support of SWF to be used in my controllers and/or model classes also.
In my flows I have a file named messages.properties and the code and value of the messages declared here can be used in views.
Now how to access the same code and value of the messages defined here in the controller classes? How can I achieve this, some examples expected.


Thanks.

Hi Ramesh,raj,

Thanks for your prompt response.

Currently, I am integrate struts and spring. I want to access resource bundling (e.g. message.properties) values in my action class. Would I know how to do it?

Many thanks. :)

Hi Ramesh.raj,

I find how to do it based on previous threads.

Just share what I did

in my spring-struts-servlet.xml
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd">
<context:annotation-config />
Note, it is import which mark in red. as it not work if you miss it.

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableReso urceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="/WEB-INF/messages"/>
<property name="cacheSeconds" value="10"/>
</bean>

In the action

private ApplicationContext context;
@Autowired
public void setContext(ApplicationContext context) {
this.context = context;
}

String message=context.getMessage("successful", null, Locale.getDefault()));

Just share if you are using controller

then code as below:

getMessageSourceAccessor().getMessage("key");

Thank you very much!
