In my implementation, the properties files get loaded once, when the
"bundleBean" is first created. This happens (in my case) in the init method
of a special startup servlet that is loaded when the servlet engine is
started. This servlet also initializes a bunch of other stuff not related to
I18N that is also stored in context attributes, such as connection pools,
caching of some data that is very commonly accessed but rarely changed, and
several factory objects that create my other business objects as needed.
Servlet engines that implement the 2.2 spec (when it's finalized) will have
some additional capabilities to declare access to the resources they need via
JNDI-looked-up names for datasources, EJBs, resources, and other things. This
stuff will get initialized when the application is started up in the servlet
container.
