Custom action and message resource file XXX_fr_BE not found

[m_enfin]

hi,

I'm using alfresco 2.0, with jdk 1.6.01.

I'm developing a custom action, that requiered a mandatory argument.

To deploy the action, everything is packaged as a jar and placed in the webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib.

Here's the jar content:

root 
   |alfresco       
   |   |extension 
   |       |export-context.xml
   |myCompany
       | ExportActionExecuter.class
       | export-messages.properties
       | export-messages_fr_FR.properties
       | export-messages_fr_BE.properties‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

To develop the action I'm using the sdk, and test it with JUnit.

When I launch the test I get the following exception at startup:

13:28:58,446 ERROR [web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name
                                        myCompany.export-messages.properties
                                , locale fr_BE
‍‍‍‍‍‍

But the file export-messages_fr_BE.properties is well there at the same place as the export-messages.properties.

Here's the context definitions extract:

   <!– Export Action Bean –>
   <bean id="export"
      class="myCompany.ExportActionExecuter"
      parent="action-executer">
      <property name="nodeService">
         <ref bean="nodeService" />
      </property>
      <property name="contentService">
         <ref bean="contentService" />
      </property>
   </bean>

   <!– Load the Export Action Messages –>
   <bean id="export-messages"
      class="org.alfresco.i18n.ResourceBundleBootstrapComponent">
      <property name="resourceBundles">
         <list>
            <value>
               myCompany.export-messages.properties
            </value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Is it the right place for the messages? If yes, why is Alfresco not finding the bundle?

Another question: How avoid having to define a _fr_BE? I would like to take care of the language (the fr) and not the country (the BE).

cheers

I believe it should be the bundle base name (ie. without .properties) for example:

<property name="resourceBundles">
   <list>
      <value>
         myCompany.export-messages
       </value>
   </list>
</property> 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This should then load the locale specific resources, such as:

export-messages_fr_BE.properties
‍‍‍

If this does not exist, then it should find:

export-messages_fr.properties
‍‍‍
