JSF Message.Properties

Question

I am trying to use a message properties file in my jsf page, to display headings ect. But it gives an error >
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Can't find bundle for base name bundle.Messages, locale en_US
I put my Message.properties file in my folder \webapps\jsf\bundle,
and in the properties file I got test=helle there.
In my JSF page i do the following >
<f:loadBundle basename="bundle.Messages" var="Message"/>
<h:outputText value="#{Message.test}" />,
what i am doing wrong.
thanks

Answer 1

Are you trying to A) customize JSF's messages, or B) create your own custom message bundle?
To customize the JSF messages:
1) Create your .properties file "Example.properties" and put it in WEB-INF/classes.
2) Override JSF's default messages by putting key/value pairs in Example.properties. For example:
     javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED=Required field3) Tell your JSF app to load Example.properties by putting the following in faces-config.xml:
<faces-config>
  <application>
    <message-bundle>GridManagerResources</message-bundle>
  </application>
</faces-config>See this link for details. A list of keys for JSF messages is at the bottom:

To create and use your own custom message bundle, see
