Hi Thanks for the reply Stan. After two and a half days at this I finally figured out the problem, and cannot believe it was so simple. It was all down to a typo, I called the file ApplicationRersources.properties instead of ApplicationResources.properties. Of course when I glanced at it to check, it looks correct.
It was only when I went through the code, and in the loadLocale() method, the method call to this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(name) was returning null, I knew what name was, and at that point decided to take a hard look at the file name to discover it was my fault all along. Thanks all anyway, I must be more careful next time!
