Resource bundle in Prime faces

[Mary Cole]

Hi,
I have the resource.properties file under WEB-INF/classes folder and the faces-config.xml looks like this

<application>
    	<message-bundle>resource</message-bundle>
	</application> 

Al accessing the value in an output text

 <h:outputLabel value="#{resource.sayHello}"/>

resource.properties entry is

sayHello=Hello World

But when I access the xhtml, the value is blank. Am I missing anything here?

Thanks in advance

Hi Mary.

You're a little confused as you say you want to use a resource bundle so you must use a <resource-bundle>, so if you have a properties file named resource.properties you must put it in a package for example com.testpackage, and you can configure the resource bundle in the faces-config so,
<application> <resource-bundle> <base-name>com.testpackage.resource</base-name> <var>resource</var> </resource-bundle> </application>
And by doing this, you can use the resource (resource is the name that you give to resource-bundle using the <var> tag) as you want:
<h:outputLabel value="#{resource.sayHello}"/>

Cesar
