hi,

First see the example of ApplicationResource.properties :
# Sample ResourceBundle properties file
errors.header=<h4>Validation Error(s)</h4><ul>
errors.footer=</ul><hr>

error.lastName=<li>Enter your last name
error.address=<li>Enter your address
error.age=<li>Enter your age

The major advantage of this file is if your client says to change the text like in place of 'Enter your last name' to 'Last Name' you need to change at one place and you need not make any changes in the code.Suppose many jsps are using this so one place change will reflect everywhere. But if you hard code 'Enter your last name' on the jsp pages. On all the jsp pages you will have to make changes.

For your second question Please check out the following link.
