This is how we do it. We have a message utility class with this code in it.
public static String getMessageFromBundle(String bundleName, String key,
Object[] params, Locale locale) {
String message = null;
ResourceBundle bundle =
ResourceBundle.getBundle(bundleName, locale,
getCurrentClassLoader(params));
try {
message = bundle.getString(key);
} catch (MissingResourceException error) {
message =
new StringBuilder().append("key:'").append(key).append("':
").append(NO_RESOURCE_FOUND).append(" with error:
").append(error).toString();
}
if (params != null) {
MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat(message, locale);
message = mf.format(params, new StringBuffer(), null).toString();
}
return message;
}
We also have a backing bean that is abstract that we extend all our
backing beans from with this method in it:
/**
* A convenience method for retreiving a message from a message bundle
* @param key - The message key.
* @param params - An optional array of parameters to supply to the message
*
* @return A String containing the message retrieved from the message bundle.
*/
public static String getMessage(String key, Object[] params) {
return MessageUtil.getMessageFromBundle(Constants.MESSAGE_RESOURCE_LOCATION,
key, params,
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getLocale());
}
