cannot resolve spring message code using messageSource

Question

I am trying to hook up a messageSource in spring to use for my application. Its not working, gives this error:

org.springframework.context.NoSuchMessa

Answer 1

I use following bean and it is working fine without specifying the path to the file:

Although the files I use are simply called "messages_en.properties" and "messages_es.properties" well you get the idea.

When you call

    messageSource.getMessage("validation_required", null, null);

do you get an exception? Try to use this file name messages_en.properties or messages_us_en.properties
