Message bundles accessed from JSF and JSP pages

Question

Hello, everybody!
I'm developing a localized JSF application. It is working pretty well until now.
These are my message files:
mensagens.properties
mensagens_en_US.propertiesThis is how they're configured in faces-config.xml:
<application>
    <resource-bundle>
        <base-name>br.urca.www.biblioteca.web.mensagens</base-name>
        <var>msg</var>
    </resource-bundle>
</application>And this is how I access the messages in a page:
<h:outputText value="#{msg.titulo}" />Nothing new until now. But now there was a need for me to have a raw jsp page in
my web application. This page is displaying ok but I also need to access the
message bundles as I'm able to access in the normal jsp with the JSF components.
As you should know I can't use something like the above code with an +<h:outputText>+
to access the messages because this is a JSF component and I'll not be able to use
JSF components with this raw jsp page.
So, my question is: how do I access my localized messages from a raw jsp page? I
suppose there should be a way to do this, but unfortunately I started programming
to the web world in Java with JSF, not JSP, so I don't know how to do this with
JSP.
Thank you very much.

Just include [jstl-1.2.jar|https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/repository/jstl/jars/] in your classpath and define the fmt taglib in your JSP. Nothing more is needed.
Hello, BalusC. Thank you for your help. We're almost there. After I have included the jstl-1.2.jar you provided me I can use the fmt tag and access message bundles from my raw jsp page (even though I had to provide other message bundles instead of the ones that I use in the other jsf pages, but it's better than nothing).
Now there just on problem to be fixed. The jsp page is not aware when I change the locale of my application. I change this locale in a jsf page.
I have this component:
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{pesquisaAcervo.idiomaAplicacao}"
    valueChangeListener="# {pesquisaAcervo.idiomaAplicacaoMudado}" onchange="submit();">
    <f:selectItems value="#{pesquisaAcervo.idiomasAplicacao}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>that calls this event in my backing bean class:
public void idiomaAplicacaoMudado(ValueChangeEvent e)
    fIdiomaAplicacao.liberarItens();
    Idioma idioma = Idioma.deString(e.getNewValue().toString());
    // This line is for JSF
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(idioma.localidade());
    // This line is for Tiles
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().
        put(org.apache.tiles.locale.impl.DefaultLocaleResolver.LOCALE_KEY, idioma.localidade());
}So, do I have to include another line in the idiomaAplicacaoMudado event above in order for the jsp page load the correct resource bundle? Or what else do I have to do?
Thank you.
