In Chapter 8 in the Seam - Contextual Components there is a topic about resource bundle in seam. I followed the examples and did not make it to work... I have a country.properties file, I?ve put it in WEB-INF/classes and add the following to the components.xml | <component name="org.jboss.seam.core.resourceBundle"> | <property name="bundleNames"> | <value>countries</value> | </property> | </component> | And then I tried to get it like so: | <h:selectOneListbox > | <f:selectItems value="#{countries}"/> | </h:selectOneListbox> | But I got null exception for countries. Where did I go wrong? And how can I change the default location of the properties, I want to put it in WEB-INF/resources (instead of classes) Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4002209#...
