Question

I’m setting up just a basic resource bundle like this:

<application>
    <locale-config>
        <default-locale>en</default-locale>
    </locale-config>
    <message-bundle>src.main.resources.messages</message-bundle>
    <resource-bundle>
        <base-name>src.main.resources.text</base-name>
        <var>text</var>
    </resource-bundle>
</application>

usage:

    <h1>#{text.header}</h1>

result:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Can't find bundle for base name src.main.resources.text, locale en

java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name src.main.resources.text, locale en

text.properties looks like this:

header=Welcome!

What is wrong with this?
What is strange: eclipse can resolve the text property. Even give me code completion hints for other text properties defined.

You put a fully qualified class/properties file name in <base-name>.

In your <base-name>src.main.resources.text</base-name> the src.main.resources seems to be a part of Maven folder structure where your text.properties file is located. It is in src/main/resources isn’t it?

You don’t need to specify folders in <base-name>, try just text:

<base-name>text</base-name>
