Hi,

I'm using Spring 3.1.1.RELEASE on JBoss 7. I have a WAR file with a properties file, "application.properties" located in the WEB-INF/classes directory. Is it possible to access properties from this file through JSTL? I have tried



but calling



outputs "???default.country.selected???". Thanks for any guidance, - Dave

Are you sure application.properties is in the root of the classpath? Have you cracked open the war and verified? Also verify it is spelled correctly.

When you say "root of your classpath", do you mean at the root of my WEB-INF/classes directory? If so, yes, I've verified that the file is appearing there and the property I mentioned exists. Am I to assume from your questions that everything is set up correctly?

Ah, I discovered I didn't have things setup properly. Changing



to



fixed my problem (I'm able to access properties now). -

Yeah I missed that at first glance that you were not using setBundle. With the old way you could have done this:
