Thank you for help, About using database for messages, I agree it requires chaching and a reload strategy. A simple "reload every 10 minutes" might allow changing messages without requirement to stop app or to search for files on server.
I'm taking a look at Spring ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource (what's a name !). It allows bundle reload and sharing messages between JSTL an Spring aware classes by using ApplicationContext as a MessageSource.
