If what you are trying to do is read the resources file, you can use this

map

absolute

* following names refer to the same resource:

* is equivalent to the application loader]

the
* resource was not found and THROW_ON_LOAD_FAILURE is false]
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if the resource was not found and
* THROW_ON_LOAD_FAILURE is true

Sure, I am making my application I18n complinat, reading all the labels
from
the resources, I am using I18n tag libary from jakartha,
I am replacing all of my labels with i18n tag like <i18n:message key="
label.name">, <i18n:message key="label.age"> etc, it is working fine.
But I have some labels which are hardcoded in the Backend (Java file) and
and they are displayed on the UI I am struck how to use this tag in the
back
end java class.
I read the documennation, nothing was mentioned about this. let me know if
you have any questions.
