Using JSTL fmt to localize, can I access message bundle from Java class?

[Timothy Chan]

Is it possible to access the message bundles from within a Java class (not from a jsp page)?

The JSTL fmt classes are built using the exact same facilities that you'd use in your code. So, yes you can set up your bundles to be accesbile by both Java code and JSTL.

For example, from my jsp page, I have:

<fmt:message key="mypage.mygreeting" />

From a POJO, how do I retrieve the Spanish translation of the mypage.mygreeting key in the message bundles. For instance, I want to retrieve the Spanish version from messages_es.properties.

That's not a JSP topic, but I suggest you research the classes such as PropertyBundle in the java.util packages.
