Issue
This is my messageResource declaration
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd">
<!-- Auto-detect controllers in this package -->
<context:component-scan base-package="levelup.world.web" />
<!-- Prepend /WEB-INF/jsp/ and append .jsp to the view name -->
<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>
<!-- Access resource bundles with the specified basename -->
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource"
p:basename="/WEB-INF/messages/" />
</beans>
When I run my application, this error shows up
No message found under code 'country.plural' for locale 'fil_PH'
now inside my messages folder inside web-inf, I have the following message properties
messages_en.properties
messages_fr.properties
messages.properties
What Am I missing here?
Solution
In general such issue appears not because of non-existence locale, but because MessageBundle is configured improperly. In your case you seem to need to remove "/" in your basename.
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource"
p:basename="/WEB-INF/messages" />
Why it is so:
If you have messages.properties and messages_en.properties bundle, then bundle name is messages. If you have them in the WEB-INF folder, then basename is /WEB-INF/messages, i.e. according to /path/to/bundle/bundlename. If you have messages.properties within /WEB-INF/messages folder, then corresponding basename is /WEB-INF/messages/messages.
