how to add a resource bundle

[tfaudot]

Hello everyone,

I'm quite new to this kind of architecture and I was wondering how to do something so please excuse my question which I'm sure is something trivial 

I would like to import a personalized resource bundle like the messages in alfresco and be able to use it in my jsp by using the #{my_bundle.my_string} as it is done with the messages #{msg.product_name} for example.

How can I do it?

thanks!

Download the Alfresco SDK and go through the Custom Login example. It has a working example.

Basically;

1. Create webclient.properties in tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension/webclient.properties
2. Load the bundle in your JSP;

<f:loadBundle basename="alfresco.extension.webclient" var="customMsg"/>‍

3. Use it in your JSP;

<h:outputText value="#{customMsg.hello_world}"/>‍

Thanks I found this code one hour ago but I've struggling with it since… because my properties file will be placed in a "config" folder at the same level alfresco is deployed… (I can't change this path, it's a constraint…)

so basically:
/myAlfresco

• config
• mypropertyfiles.properties

  
• css
  
• images
  
• jsp
  
• WEB-INF
  
• …

What is the proper way to access my file then? I can't find the good path 😞

Hi,

New message bundles/files go into the alfresco extension location.
In tomcat, this would be tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\messages (or anywhere on your classpath in the directory structure 'classes\alfresco\messages')

I know that these files should be under /classes but I don't have a choice, my files are under tomcat/webapps/myalfresco/config/…
So how do I get to them in the basename attribute of the f:loadBundle tag?
thanks!
