Passing localized javascript messages from resource bundles using JSF

Question

I have built an application with JSF and all messages issued by the server are localized with resource bundles.

My question is: how to get messages issued in the cli

Answer 1

the wutzebaer answer is right but it has a problem when then the variables of a literal has any dot, like "person.name"

that worked for me, but the netbeans shows this error:

Error: The prefix "c" for the "c: forEach" element is not linked.

cause it had put a JSTL tag insida a script, but it works fine, however

also there is another way to do it

@ManagedBean(name = "ResouceBundle")
@ApplicationScoped
public class ResouceBundle implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; //needed because the bean is application|session|view and it needs to be Serializable
    public String msg;

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        this.msg = createResourceBundleJSON("resourceName");
    }

    public String createResourceBundleJSON(String resourceName) {

        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        ResourceBundle bundle = context.getApplication().getResourceBundle(context, resourceName);
        JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject();
        Set keys = bundle.keySet();
        for (String key : keys) {
            jsonObj.put(key, JSONObject.wrap(bundle.getString(key)));
        }
        return jsonObj.toString(); 
    }

    public String getMsg() {
        return msg;
    }

    public static long getSerialVersionUID() {
        return serialVersionUID;
    }

}

and then, in the XHTML, just write:
