We ended up extending ResourceBundle to pull the properties from a database
table and cache them internally. class ApplicationProperty<T> {String key, T
value} ..
The main drawback is we can't use that bundle while booting the application, so
there are a few low level bootstrap properties (mainly db connection) that
still have to be stored in a file. But I prefer this over the text file, since
we can store unicode and the values can be edited and reloaded in real time.
Eventually we'll have a UI for this. With a regular file loaded from the
classpath, if you need to fix a typo in a message you have to repackage,
release, and restart (sometimes a 3 week ordeal for us :-x) Plus any client
code still sees it as a regular old resource bundle so it is just a swappable
implementation.

Freddy,
I did see that...BUT.. what would I need to do to hookup <fmt:setBundle/> and
<fmt:message> to use XML based resource bundles? Is that even possible?
If I can't use <fmt:message> as is, I'll probably just implement my own XML
driven mechanism?

Another possibility is to use XML:
"The loadFromXML(InputStream) and storeToXML(OutputStream, String,
String)
methods load and store properties in a simple XML format. By default the
UTF-8 character encoding is used, however a specific encoding may be
specified if required."
