Spring framework: No message found under code for locale

Question

This is my messageResource declaration

Answer 1

In general such issue appears not because of non-existence locale, but because MessageBundle is configured improperly. In your case you seem to need to remove "/" in your basename.

<bean id="messageSource"
     class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource"
     p:basename="/WEB-INF/messages" />

Why it is so:

If you have messages.properties and messages_en.properties bundle, then bundle name is messages. If you have them in the WEB-INF folder, then basename is /WEB-INF/messages, i.e. according to /path/to/bundle/bundlename. If you have messages.properties within /WEB-INF/messages folder, then corresponding basename is /WEB-INF/messages/messages.

Answer 2

You can specify in Spring boot application.properties too

# INTERNATIONALIZATION 
spring.messages.basename=i18n/messages
spring.messages.encoding=UTF-8

Answer 3

You can add some code in application.properties:

spring.messages.always-use-message-format=false
spring.messages.basename=messages
spring.messages.cache-seconds=-1
spring.messages.encoding=UTF-8
spring.messages.fallback-to-system-locale=true

Answer 4

For spring boot folder ressources you need to add name of Bean:

@Bean(name="messageSource")
public ResourceBundleMessageSource bundleMessageSource() {
ResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ResourceBundleMessageSource();
messageSource.setBasename("messages");
return messageSource;
}

Answer 5

For spring boot you need something like this:

@Bean
public MessageSource messageSource() {
     ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
     messageSource.setBasename("/WEB-INF/classes/messages");
     return messageSource;
}

Answer 6

By default maven assumes to find such resource bundle message source under

src/main/resources

. By moving all the necessary folders under the location and also making sure we have the following code in the context

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename"><value>messages</value></property>
</bean>
