No erik, I didn't use any format key bundles as such. I used the format property and not formatKey. I don't know how to create a bundle called "TelephoneFormatResources"
<bean:write name="address" property="telephoneno" format="###-###-#####"/> This is how I used the bean.

For example: <bean:write name="address" property="telephoneno" bundle="TelephoneFormatResources" formatKey="format1"/> (assuming the bundle exists, has the key "format1" which has the value "###-##-####") instead of: <bean:write name="address" property="telephoneno" bundle="TelephoneFormatResources" formatKey="###-###-#####"/> Makes more sense to me . . .
