Localizing enum values in resource bundle

Question

I have a problem with i18n enums in my JSF application. When I started, I had enums with the text defined inside. But now, I have keys tied to message bundles in the enum.

Answer 1

I calculate the message key in the enum like as shown below; so no need to maintain the keys with additional attributes on the enum

public String getMessageKey() {
    return String.format("enum_%s_%s", this.getClass().getSimpleName(),
            this.name());
}

Then I use it like this

with having configured a org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource in the app context
