The reason why I've put it at P2 is because without this functionality it is not possible to properly create internationalised applications using the Visual Web Designer. I can do without the resource bundle in the Binding editor, but when I put it in manually it should use the default locale to display the correct message. |
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ] It does not seem to be possible to bind the key of a resource bundle to the output of a visual component. For example, I have a Properties file containing all my messages and labels. The properties file is registered in faces-config.xml as a resource bundle: <application> ... <resource-bundle> <base-name>mytest.Messages</base-name> <var>msgs</var> </resource-bundle> ... </application> Sample content from mytest.Messages: LABEL_USERNAME=Username: LABEL_PASSWORD=Password: On my Visual JSF page I've got a label for a username input field. On the properties sheet for the label I click the ".." next to the Text property, select "Use binding", but the resource bundle is nowhere to be found. If instead I enter the binding manually (eg #{msgs.LABEL_USERNAME} the label becomes empty in the Design editor, but when the application is deployed it displays the label correctly. My request is therefore to support ResourceBundles, whether loaded from faces-config.xml or using the <f:loadBundle /> tag, when binding to an object.
