AFAIU Gerhard proposes a more general interface which is independent from ResourceBundles. Underneath you still can use them, in fact you would have to for
ValidationMessages.properties. We would have to to define the MessageResolver interface and then also define that the default implementation of this interface
resolves against ValidationMessages.properties. Even with the ResourceBundleLocator interface you need to somehow specify that a default implementation exists 
which uses ValidationMessages.properties. Is this what you have in mind Gerhard?

+1 That would be the best.

Right. For that reason using ResourceBundleLocator still feels a little more "natural" to me.
