Dave, First off, I'm no expert on message bundles, and I've never used one yet :)
I was reading the JSF 1.2 spec yesterday, and it seemed to me that you could only specify one message bundle. However, there's nothing stopping you from writing your own message-bundle implementation that takes a collection of other message-bundles (and implicitly includes the default bundle as well) and cycles through them in order (or reverse order) until a matching key is found. I'd find such functionality extremely useful when I do finally get around to using message bundles. I think it'd be a worthy addition to MyFaces tomahawk. -Mike On 10/26/05, Dave Brondsema <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there a way to use multiple <message-bundle>s?
