[thinkboy]

sorry for such an ignorance question.

how can i get message source from programming API, not via DI.
i did the following but failed. the log is not able to show "myapp". pls help.

ApplicationContext ctx = WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicati onContext(servletContext);
String message = ctx.getMessage("webapp.name", null, null);
log.debug("my web app name:" + message);

Hi,

you have to setup your messageSourceBean

http://static.springframework.org/sp...-messagesource

Then you should see your message, even if you are getting the MessageSource programatically (like in the reference docs)

Hi ,

you would have to register the messageSource bean as follows

<bean id="messageSource"  class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
        <property name="basenames">
            <list>
                <value>/WEB-INF/ApplicationResource.properties</value>
            </list>
        </property>
        <property name="cacheSeconds" value="10"/>
    </bean>

then use the applicationContext to lookup the bean

MessageSource source = (MessageSource)ctx.getBean("messageSource")
String message =source.getMessage("webapp.name",null,null);

you could also inject the messageSource Bean into the dependent bean
