Question

I am using JSF and have made a custom servlet for loading images dynamically.

I want this servlet to pick up my image folder location i.e. “F:\photos\images\” from the resource bundle. How do I access my resource bundle defined in my faces-config?
I do not want to hard code this value in the servlet :/

Let’s say you have a resource bundle defined like this:

<resource-bundle>
   <base-name>/resources/bundle</base-name>
   <var>bundle</var>
</resource-bundle>

In Java you can access this property file like this:

import java.util.ResourceBundle;
...
ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("/resources/bundle");
String val = config.getString(key);
