Resource classes follow the same naming conventions and directory locations
that Java classes do. In your case, you would want to put your resources file
(named either "LocalStrings.properties" or "LocalStrings.class" -- see below)
in the same directory that the "Authenticate.class" file is found by the
servlet engine.
There are two primary variations on ResourceBundle classes --
PropertyResourceBundle or ListResourceBundle. I tend to use the former,
because it's simpler. So, you would just create a LocalStrings.properties file
in the directory described above, and put your initializations in it, exactly
like the initializations for any other properties file.
The Java Language Tutorial (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial) has some
real useful examples of how to do this. Check out the "Internationalization"
trail, in particular the section titled "Isolating Locale-Specific Data").
Although resource bundles are useful for non-internationalized apps as well,
this is why they were included in Java.
