Resource Bundle issue in ATG 10 migration

Question

Hi,
Migrating from ATG 2007.1 to 10 & getting issues with resource bundle for Merchandizing pages in BCC.Page is loading the StoreMerchandisingIcons.swf from the WAR module.Additionally the page is throwing error #404 for StoreMerchandisingIcons_en.swf & StoreMerchandisingIcons_en_US.swf (which is not available in the WAR)
This URL is loading fine
http://localhost:8180/store-merchandising/StoreMerchandisingIcons.swf
404 for these URLs
http://localhost:8180/store-merchandising/StoreMerchandisingIcons_en.swf
http://localhost:8180/store-merchandising/StoreMerchandisingIcons_en_US.swf
Configured the resource bundle & default locale in the StoreConfiguration but still I am getting this error.Am I missing anything?
Debugged through FireBug , not getting any error in the page or Jboss console
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Application.getResourceBundle(FacesContext, String) retrieves the named ResourceBundle from faces-config.xml and is indeed a good way to access a bundle from an application.
Now, however, you're trying to access a Model layer bundle which is itself an aberration imho. I already mentioned that in numerous posts in the past, but I won't ever think that specifying localized information in the model layer is a good design. At best I could accept it for default value, but localized message it in no way a business logic concern, it's pretty much a pure presentation one. The model layer should return error code/keys and parameters and it should be the responsibility of the view layer to translate it in an understandable version for the target client (human or automated). Can't you use a view layer bundle?
