We are trying to implement internationalization using Spring ResourceBundleMessageSource and FMT. But when we use it in the JSP, pages are displaying value as ???message.key???. Can you please help us in resolving this behavior? Really appreciate your answers.
Below are the configuration:
spring-servlet.xml entry
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename">
<value>WEB-INF/messages/msgs</value>
</property> </bean>
<bean id="localeChangeInterceptor" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
<property name="paramName">
<value>locale</value>
</property> </bean>
<bean id="localeResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.SessionLocaleResolver"/>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping">
<property name="interceptors">
<list>
<ref bean="localeChangeInterceptor" />
</list>
</property>
</bean>
IN the JSP we have added the imported
<%# taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
<fmt:message key="message.key"/>
Also in the war created we have the msgs.properties file under WEB-INF/messages folder.
Really appreciate help in identifying the mistake we are making. Thank you.
I am using the same as you and I am able to retrieve the messages from the properties file with fmt:message. Can you try to change the resource bundle for this:
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basenames">
<list>
<value>classpath:messages</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8" />
<property name="fallbackToSystemLocale" value="false"></property>
</bean>
The properties are stored in src/main/resources.
Hope it helps.
Using FMT taglibraries we could not solve the issue. I believe it has got some thing to do with the jstl jar and taglibs which we are using with JBoss 7.1.1 server.
We started using spring tlds for displaying the messages. All is working fine now. Thanks for the help.
Use /WEB-INF/messages/msgs instead of WEB-INF/messages/msgs
Simply, add '/' at the beginning of path.

Iam working on a small project, when i try to implement i18n in spring,it not working,even when i try to change default language its not working. here is my spring-servlet.xml code
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" />
</bean>
<bean id="localeResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.CookieLocaleResolver">
<property name="defaultLocale" value="fr" />
<!-- <property name="cookieName" value="myAppLocaleCookie"></property>
<property name="cookieMaxAge" value="3600"></property>-->
</bean>
<mvc:interceptors>
<bean id="localeChangeInterceptor" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
<property name="paramName" value="lang" />
</bean>
</mvc:interceptors>
i have 4 messages.properties in classpath messages.properties,messages_en.properties,messages_fr.properties,messages_de.properties
the default language not changing always its using messages_en.properties if remove messages_en.properties file ,then its using messages.properties.
And my hyperlinks are not working in jsp file
Language : English | French | german
when i use ${locale} in jsp it prints nothing..
plz help me tia..
Try ${requestContext.locale} instead of ${locale}.
And maybe jsp you test, has already '?' character in path, so lands on page with 2x'?' ?
I am new with spring and I still don't know well about hierarchy and terminology of spring. I am implementing a RESTful app with spring. After searching and reading about how to internationalize spring, I tried to do it in my app. But it seems to me it is not configured properly. Because I get exception. I would like to show you the screenshot of my project structure. And I would like to ask you why my applicationContext.xml show a problem exist.
spring-servlet.xml
<!-- SPRING INTERNALIZATION CONFIGURATION -->
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" />
<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
</bean>
<bean id="localeResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.CookieLocaleResolver">
<property name="defaultLocale" value="en"/>
</bean>
<bean id="localeChangeInterceptor" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
<property name="paramName" value="language" />
</bean>
<bean id="handlerMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">
<property name="interceptors">
<ref bean="localeChangeInterceptor" />
</property>
</bean>
The javadoc of ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource.setBaseNames() says:
Set an array of basenames, each following the basic ResourceBundle convention of not specifying file extension or language codes, but in contrast to ResourceBundleMessageSource referring to a Spring resource location: e.g. "WEB-INF/messages" for "WEB-INF/messages.properties", "WEB-INF/messages_en.properties", etc.
But you've placed your message properties files under src/main/resources in the Maven project structure, so they will end up at the root of the classpath instead (which means that even if Spring looked for them in the classpath, the /resources prefix you've used in the configuration would prevent Spring to find them).
So place the properties file under WEB-INF, and use WEB-INF/messages as the basenames property.
I have an existing Spring/GWT Application which i need to add internationalisation to. My understanding is that i can use Spring's "ResourceBundleMessageSource" to automatically select the appropriate messages_* file depending on the users location. I tried following this tutorial but i can't seem to get the Application to display my strings in French. As it stands, I've added 2 files messages_en_US.properties and messages_fr_FR.properties into my src/main/resources/i18n folder and added the following to the applicationContext.XML:
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename">
<value>classpath:i18n/messages</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="localeChangeInterceptor"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
<property name="paramName" value="lang" />
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping" >
<property name="interceptors">
<list>
<ref bean="localeChangeInterceptor" />
</list>
</property>
</bean>
Just wondering 1) if i need additional configuration/glue code and 2) if i can test this easily without having to set the Language/Locale to French on my Redhat Server?
It's likely that your browser sends just "fr" language tag in Accept-Header. Spring is notorious for problems with fall-back, so you may need to copy the messages_fr_FR.properties as messages_fr.properties.
I am sure there must be some ways to configure fall-back, so you want have to use messages_en.properties (try your application with other English locales...), just messages.properties should do, but I am just too lazy/tired to look for solution at the moment.
Here you need to specify below bean in spring.xml.
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" />
<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8" />
</bean>
<bean id="localeResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.CookieLocaleResolver">
<property name="defaultLocale" value="en"/>
</bean>
<mvc:interceptors>
<bean id="localeChangeInterceptor" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
<property name="paramName" value="lang" />
</bean>
</mvc:interceptors>
This works perfectly fine when you pass lang=es in query string. If still any issue remain.you can check the working example Here .
enter code hereI have a property file placed in the etc folder. "myapplication.properties" and few other property files in each sub module.. i am try to do the following
<bean class="org.springframework.web.context.support.ServletContextPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="searchContextAttributes" value="true"/>
<property name="contextOverride" value="true"/>
<property name="ignoreResourceNotFound" value="true"/>
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>classpath:application.properties</value>
<value>${config}</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders" value="true"/>
</bean>
I am trying to do mvn -Dconfig=~/my.properties jetty:run
The properties are read from application.properties but not for config..
While running application i get the ${jdbc.url} not correct .. This url is present in my.properties ..
How can this be achieved ?
Thanks
This is what I had, to run it
<bean id="placeholderConfigConfig" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="systemPropertiesModeName">
<value>SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE</value>
</property>
<property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders">
<value>true</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location" value="file:${config}" />
</bean>
And add -Dconfig=/var//my.properties in the MAVEN_OPTS.. and did mvn jetty:run
Another one line solution I found.. instead of making verbose configuration just do
<context:property-placeholder location="file:${config}"/>
I think this feature becomes available in spring 3.1 via the new Environment abstraction. See the following spring blog for details:
http://blog.springsource.com/2011/02/15/spring-3-1-m1-unified-property-management/.
If spring 3.1 is not an option you can hard-code the filename and path in the spring xml configuration file to some well-known location and then developers can symlink against it.
I have created a JAR that I need to use in my WEB-APP. Both are created with spring framework. I would like to load a .properties file outside the JAR file, in the main context of the web-application. And I want to do it with the facilities that Spring offers us.
I've tried to do something like this in my spring.xml file inside the JAR:
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location">
<value>/WEB-INF/classes/my.properties</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
<property name="triggers">
<bean id="cronTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
<property name="jobDetail" ref="myJob" />
<property name="cronExpression" value="${my.cronExpression}"/>
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
Trying to load my.cronExpression from my.properties file. But without any success.
I always get this error:
Could not resolve placeholder 'my.cronExpression'.
I've tried to change the location with many variants, using classpath:/WEB-INF/classes/my.properties etc...
But I'm not able to load the configuration file.
Thanks for your help.
Use classpath:my.properties - /WEB-INF/classes is root of your classpath.
Try declaring it as follows:
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location">
<value>/WEB-INF/classes/my.properties</value>
</property>
<property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders">
<value>true</value>
</property>
</bean>
I have gone through your code and want you to try this code snippet
It works well for me :)
<bean id="placeholderProperties"
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location" value="file:/WEB-INF/classes/my.properties" />
<property name="systemPropertiesModeName" value="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE" />
<property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders" value="true" />
<property name="order" value="1" />
</bean>
