Using a ResourceBundle in ApplicationContext.xml

[wayne.earnshaw]

Greetings,

I was wondering, is there anyway to reference resource bundle text properties like "footer.company.name" in the actual Spring bean XML files i.e. like applicationContext.xml?

I have the usual ApplicationResource.properties file with name/value pairs i.e.

footer.company.name=Your Company...

I don't have a problem using them in a Facelets page e.g.

#{text['footer.company.name']}

with the following loadBundle inside one of the XHTML files...

<f:loadBundle basename="ApplicationResources" var="text" />

and the JSF faces-config.xml set to

<application><el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
<locale-config>
	<default-locale>en</default-locale>
</locale-config>
<message-bundle>ApplicationResources</message-bundle>
</application>

Just in case you still need it:

<bean id="servicePropertyConfig" 
	class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
	<property name="locations">
		<list>
			<value>classpath:properties-file-to-use.properties</value>
			<value>classpath:another-properties-file-to-use.properties</value>
		</list>
	</property>
	<property name="placeholderPrefix" value="$properties{"/>
</bean>

....

<bean id="beanWithAProperty"  class="foo.Class">
	<property name="propertyToSet" value="$properties{property.from.bundle}"/>
</bean>

cheers,
LK
