Sorry I didn't read the whole mail.
How exactly is "msg" defined?
I don't see here what version of Tomahawk you are working with. For
version 1.1.3 (which is what I have at hand) the value is fetched just
using a standard call to "getValue()", so there's nothing special there.
However afterwards it tries to do some type-conversion:
Object v = getValue();
if (v != null &&
v instanceof String)
{
Class type = updateBinding.getType(context);
....
}
updateBinding.setValue(context, v);
If expression breadCrumbNavigatorBean.displayText doesn't reference a
String property then there might be a conversion problem. Note that
exactly what defines a javabean "property" is slightly more complex than
just having a setter method. For example, the setter must not be static,
and there must not be a getter method with a conflicting signature. You
could check by using java.bean.Introspector on this class and verify
that it does agree that there is indeed a writeable String property
"displayText". Ok, it's not likely that this is wrong but
t:updateActionListener is in wide use and there are no known problems
with it so something odd is going on..
Cheers,
Simon

As I mentioned in point number 2 it works. displayText property in the
backing bean will get populated with "dummyValue"
The immediate inference of this result was that there is something wrong
with my EL expression. But then when I used <t:outputLabel> tag with the
same EL expression it outputted the correct value.
This means that there is nothing wrong with the EL expression. The key
is properly defined in the Messages.properties file as well.

What happens if you do this?
<t:updateActionListener
property="#{breadCrumbNavigatorBean.displayText}"
value="dummyValue"/>

Hi Werner,
I double checked the jsp and the backing bean but it just refuses to
parse the EL expression.
This is what I have done:
*Jsp Code:*
<t:commandLink value="Add Reminders" styleClass="linkClass"
action="#{reminderController.getExistingRemindersList}"
actionListener="#{breadCrumbNavigatorBean.updateBreadCrumb}"
rendered="#{!physicianHomeController.showRemindersMoreLink}">
<t:updateActionListener
property="#{breadCrumbNavigatorBean.displayText}"
value="#{msg['breadcrumb.label.reminders']}"/>
</t:commandLink>
In the* backing bean* I just defined a String property with the name
displayText.
*/Following is the observation:/*
1. The displayText in the backing bean is null. In other words the
EL
expression does not get parsed resulting in a null value.
2. If a literal string is given in place of an EL expression then
the
value is correctly populated in the backing bean.
3. Based on the result from point number 2 - I tried just outputting
the
value of the EL expression using: <t:outputLabel
value="#{msg['breadcrumb.label.reminders']}"
styleClass="outputLabelText"/> The same expression is now parsed
properly and the value appears on the page. This means that there is
nothing wrong with the EL expression.
I am not sure what is going on? Why will <t:updateActionListener>
refuse
to parse an EL expression that references a message bundle?

Madhav

I had similar usescases (although not using internationalisation)
in my current up a dozend times, the mechanism itself works,
I can only guess here,
first of all which myfaces version do you use and which tomahawk
version.
I can recommend to go to the latest 1.1.5 stable and use the
tomahawk
and sandbox nightlies.
Secondly check for typos nav.msg.remiders seems like one
there is an "n" missing in reminders typowise, which could
be the cause for an empty string issued.
