Internationalization and external resource file

[lukasw44]

Hello
I have got a big problem :/
Standard bean for internationalization for spring is :

<bean id="messageSource"
    class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
    <property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" />
    <property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
</bean> 

so i shared message_en.properties in resources/messages_en.properties in my war file
but i need to have got choice to load resource file from another external resource (example /usr/local/resouce/messages_en.properties) or if in this location i havent got file so my properties is load from default resouse in war file ??
so i havent got any ide how to do it :/
i think that i myst extends bean ReloadableresouceBundleMessageSource and rewrite some method
but i havent got any idea how to do it so please help my if you can

thx

No you don't... I suggest you read the reference manual especially the part about resource loading, next to that check the javadocs of the ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource to check the properties that can help you.

Hello
I do as you say but i dont know what is wrong :

in configuration i wrote:

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
        <property name="resourceLoader" >
            <bean class="web.servlets.controller.ResourceBundleLoader">
            </bean>
        </property>
    </bean> 

and my ResourceBundleLoader:

public class ResourceBundleLoader implements ResourceLoader{

    @Override
    public Resource getResource(String location) {
        System.out.println("location: " + location);
        
        ApplicationContext appContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");

        if(location == null)
        {
            System.out.println("Location == null ");
            location = "file:/usr/local/storage/test/mainweb";
        }
        
        Resource resource = appContext.getResource(location);
        
        if(resource == null)
        {
            System.out.println("resource == null ");
            return null;
        }else{
            System.out.println("Resource != null");
        }
        
        return resource;
    }

    @Override
    public ClassLoader getClassLoader() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }
    
    
} 

and i have got properties file in location "/usr/local/storeg/test/mainweb_en.properties"

So what i doing wrong ?
I hage got error in jboss:

ERROR [org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.MessageTag] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-2) No message found under code 'TITLE' for locale 'en_US'.: javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException: No message found under code 'TITLE' for locale 'en_US'.

I do as you say but i dont know what is wrong :

No you don't... You are making it way to complex... As stated read the resource loading part of the reference guide to understand resource loading.

<bean id="messageSource"
    class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
    <property name="basename" value="file:/usr/local/storage/test/mainweb" />
    <property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
</bean>

You don't need to mess around with resource loaders just understand how the mechanism works and how the beans work!
