[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-178) Cascading Message Bundles

Cascading Message Bundles ------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-178 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-178 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: JSF Reporter: James Woodward Assigned To: Gavin King Fix For: 1.1 Would it be possible to get the Seam i18n features to scan for multiple resource bundles, so that common resources can be shared across mutliple applications? Here's a few ways this could be accomplished: 1) Rename the default bundle "messages.properties" to "seam-messages.properties", and scan for multiple seam-messages.properties in the EAR. 2) Add a new property name, or change the resourceBundle.bundleName property, to handle a delimited list of resourceBundles. So the default implementation uses a single bundle "messages.properties", but by adding a configuration property you can get it to scan multiple resource bundles in the order specified. e.g. resourceBundle.bundleName=Messages.properties,GlobalMessages.properties 3) Implement a cascading scheme, similar to the sample posted in the forum.
