message-bundle not working

[Kev D'Arcy]

Hi,

I'm trying to verride the default REQUIRED error message in a properties
file, but JSF seems to be ignoring it. I have it listed in my faces-config
as:

<faces-config>
<application>
<message-bundle>messages</message-bundle>
</application>
...

The properties file is on the classpath and the entry in the file is:

javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED=Please enter a value

Any ideas?

The <message-bundle> must contain the full classpath. Is it?

[Kev D'Arcy]

The messages.properties is in the root of the classpath i.e.
in the WEB-INF/classes folder

Hmmm. That should work

Here is my setup

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<faces-config>
<application>
<message-bundle>bundles.core</message-bundle>
<locale-config>
<default-locale>en</default-locale>
</locale-config>

</application>
</faces-config>

and I have core.properties in my WEB-INF\classes\bundles folder

javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED=Please enter a value for {0}.

Hmmmm it seems it's just a "feature" of the WebSphere 5.1 test environment
in Rational Application Developer... And people wonder why I want to use
Eclipse?!
