How to add new properties files
Spring framework provides messaging (i18n or internationalization) functionality by using
MessageSource. When an ApplicationContext gets loaded, it automatically searches for
a MessageSource bean named "messageSource" defined in the context.
In the Storefront, messageSource bean is defined in /WEBINF/conf/spring/views/velocity/velocity.xml. The MessageSource implementation used in
AquaLogic Commerce Services, ResourceBundleMessageSource, supports a
hierarchical structure that defines where properties files should be defined. See the
anotated XML code below.
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.
ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<!-- Define the parent message source bean -->
<property name="parentMessageSource"> <ref bean="globalMessageSource"/>
</property>
<property name="basenames">
<list>
<!-- Define .properties files here (omitt the extension) -->
<value>/WEB-INF/templates/velocity/account/create</value>
<value>/WEB-INF/templates/velocity/address/create</value>
...
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="globalMessageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.
ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basenames">
<list>
<!-- Global .properties files are defined here -->
<value>/WEB-INF/templates/velocity/globals</value>
<value>org/acegisecurity/messages</value>
</list>
