message-bundle: Do I need to define my .properties file in the faces-config.xml AND the jsp file both?

[Todd Patrick]

Concerning a .properties file, do I need to define the .properties file in my faces-config.xml:

 

<application>
    <locale-config>
    <default-locale>en_US</default-locale>
    </locale-config>
    <message-bundle>com.dtn.petro2.petro_admin.tbrowser</message-bundle>
</application>

 

 

*AND* in the .jsp page:

 

<f:loadBundle basename="com.dtn.petro2.petro_admin.tbrowser" var="tb"/>

 

I return the following error if I don't have the .properties file defined in my faces-config.xml and only have it defined in my jsp file:

 

[#|2006-05-10T10:50:12.168-0500|SEVERE|sun-appserver-pe8.2|javax.enterprise.system.container.web|_ThreadID=12;|ApplicationDispatcher[/transactionbrowser] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception

java.lang.NullPointerException: null MessageFactory

 

Thanks,
