Specifying other Path to ResourceBundle / i18n for Vaadin


Is it possible to specify another path than the classpath for the properties files of Vaadin MVP plugin?

My main objective is to try to decouple these properties files at e.g. live deployment of the product being developed.


Solution

  • The plugin uses ResourceBundle.getBundle(baseName, locale) internally in the ResourceBundleUiMessageSource class. This means that it only looks at the class path and you cannot specify arbitrary locations externally.

    However, all source code is included with the plugin, so you can extend it to use PropertyResourceBundle. See this question for more details.
