Question

I am using Spring 3.0. Can i read a property file from a localdrive eg: C:\prop\mylogin.properties(not under webapps/application server)

mylogin.properties

login.heading=Login
login.username=Username
login.password_blank=Password cannot be blank

I want to use the above in my Validator class(java bean class).
Please Note : I using MultiAction Controller not SpringFormController

 public class MyUserValidator implements Validator 
    {

@Override
    public void validate(Object command, Errors errors) {
         String msg=null;
     //some conditions checked
         String msg=login.password_blank;-------->get from property file ??
        errors.rejectValue("User",msg,"defaultvalue");   

}

Hi we are using resource bundle, not sure how this will need to be used within validator?

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource" lazy-init="true"> 
       <property name="basenames"> 
       <list> 

      <value>${deployment.properties.path}/xyzsite/mylogin</value>   

 </list> 
 </property> 
<property name="cacheSeconds" value="${deployment.properties.cache_in_seconds}"/> 
</bean> 

What change i cud make in the answer u have mentioned if resource bundle is been used?

for example if i want to set a PageSize
int pagesize=5; —> get this from property file

mylogin.properties

login.heading=Login
login.username=Username
login.password_blank=Password cannot be blank
login.page_row_size=5

Alright got this sorted by doing following
mav= new ModelAndView
mav.addAllObjects(errors.getModel());
