I have configured a message bundle in the faces-config.xml file

<application>
  <view-handler>com.icesoft.faces.facelets.D2DFaceletViewHandler</view-handler>
  <locale-config>
     <default-locale>de</default-locale>
     <supported-locale>de</supported-locale>
     <supported-locale>de_DE</supported-locale>
   </locale-config>
   <message-bundle>Messages</message-bundle>
</application>

I have put the property file into WEB-INF/classes/ folder (Messages_de.properties, Messages_de_DE.properties) but i always get this message....the most mysterious thing is that i only changed things in the configuration reading of the application but didn't change things in faces-config.xml or jspx files.

Solution 
  • java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name javax.faces.Messages, locale de

    This is actually a misleading exception and a bug in error reporting of older JSF 1.2 versions. The real problem is that the <message-bundle> cannot be found.

    You mentioned that you placed Messages_de.properties and Messages_de_DE.properties in /WEB-INF/classes folder, which is fine, but you should also supply a default Messages.properties file. It can be kept empty.

    Another possible cause is that you're actually developing using an IDE and that you placed it literally in the /WEB-INF/classes folder by the IDE navigator. You should not do this. This will be overriden whenever you build and deploy the WAR. Instead, you should place the .properties files in the source root of the project, there where all your Java packages also are.
