I find that my users want to frequently change messages and text throughout my applications. I would prefer to use an entity to store and update messages and text. I believe that I would only need 3 fields: key, text, locale or possibly key, text, en, fr (an extra column of each locale) My application is only in English so I am not that concerned about locale. Instead of getting the text or message from a file in the application I would like them to be loaded from this table on startup. If I get this working will I be able to reload this in a running seam application of one of the properties is modified? Does someone else already have a example of this type of thing?
