Af:setActionListener not working properly with resource bundle value

Question

Hi,
I am making a ADF-BC JSF project in which I have a commit button a page. On click of this Commit button I am setting some value (Status) through setActionListener. But as this value(Status) is subject to change, so I have stored it in the resource properties file and I'm assigning it from the resource properties file.
Now when I hardcode the value, it works properly but when I give it from the properties resource file it sets this value to NULL. Here is my code.
<af:commandButton text="Commit" action="some action”}>
<af:setActionListener to="#{bindings.SP11DeliveryWarrantView1WarrantStatus.inputValue}"
from="#{res['warrantstatus.InProcess']}"/>
</af:commandButton>
If I write #{'Some hardcoded value'} instead of #{res['warrantstatus.InProcess']}. It works fine. May I know what is wrong here or is it a bug?

Hi,
I had the same problem and many thanks Frank - yes this does work. Just for clarity here is what I did with my implementation:
In my session level managed bean (SystemState) I added the relevant values from the bundle:
public class SystemState
  public static final String RESOURCE_BUNDLE = "gpl.viewcontroller.resources.UIResources" ;
  private HashMap<String,String> formTypeStatuses = new HashMap<String,String>() ;
  public SystemState()
    formTypeStatuses.put("live",JSFUtils.getResourceBundleValue("home.menu2.livestatus.value",RESOURCE_BUNDLE)) ;
    formTypeStatuses.put("archive",JSFUtils.getResourceBundleValue("home.menu2.archivestatus.value",RESOURCE_BUNDLE)) ;
    formTypeStatuses.put("all",JSFUtils.getResourceBundleValue("home.menu2.allstatuses.value",RESOURCE_BUNDLE)) ;
  public HashMap<String, String> getFormTypeStatuses()
    return formTypeStatuses;
}I then referenced these values from my jspx page:
            <af:commandLink actionListener="#{bindings.ExecuteWithParams1.execute}"
                            action="ExecuteWithParams1"
                            text="#{res['home.menu2.livestatus.text']}"
                            disabled="#{!bindings.ExecuteWithParams1.enabled}">
              <af:setActionListener from="#{session_system_state.formTypeStatuses.live}"
                                    to="#{requestScope.status}"/>
            </af:commandLink>
            <af:commandLink actionListener="#{bindings.ExecuteWithParams1.execute}"
                            action="ExecuteWithParams1"
                            text="#{res['home.menu2.archivestatus.text']}"
                            disabled="#{!bindings.ExecuteWithParams1.enabled}">
              <af:setActionListener from="#{session_system_state.formTypeStatuses.archive}"
                                    to="#{requestScope.status}"/>
            </af:commandLink>
            <af:commandLink actionListener="#{bindings.ExecuteWithParams1.execute}"
                            action="ExecuteWithParams1"
                            text="#{res['home.menu2.allstatuses.text']}"
                            disabled="#{!bindings.ExecuteWithParams1.enabled}">
              <af:setActionListener from="#{session_system_state.formTypeStatuses.all}"
                                    to="#{requestScope.status}"/>
            </af:commandLink>Dave
