Access messages using code in java files

How do I access messages and labels that are defined in resou

I have the following defined in servlet.xml

Code:

---

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
                <property name="basenames">
                                <list>
                                                <value>myapp</value>
                                                <value>myapp-messages</value>
                                </list>
                </property>
</bean>

---

I have two property files. One for labels(myapp.properties) and one for error messages (myapp-messages.properties).

Code:

---

myapp-messages.properties:
failedInSaveMessage=Failed while saving the customer record.

---

I know how to access the messages that are defined in these property files from jsp.
for eg:

Code:

---

<c:set var="errMessage"><spring:message code='failedInSaveMessage'/></c:set>
<c:out value="${errMessage}"/>

---

I want to access these messages from java file, so that I can prepare my errors obj after fetching
data from DB. I am not using validator interface.

How do I access msg text that is defined in resource files using msg code in java files?

Basically I need something like "spring:message code='failedInSaveMessage'"

The following can be used off the "messageSource", if you inject it into the class you want to read the message text:

Code:

---

messageSource.getMessage(String code, Object[] args, Locale locale)

---

You can pass in null for the second argument. It is for replacements in the message text. Locale can be retrieved from the HttpServletRequest.

Thank you very much!
