Spring Boot + Thymeleaf not finding message properties

Question

I am trying to create a web application using Spring Boot and Thymeleaf and am having trouble getting the template to use the messages defined in a properties file. Instead

Answer 1

I Have the same Issue while using messages.properties file The issue was @EnableAutoConfiguration not added in my Spring boot file

 @SpringBootApplication
 @EnableAutoConfiguration
    public class Run {

        public static void main(String[] args) {
            SpringApplication.run(Run.class, args);
            System.out.println("Run");
        }

    }

After added its work

Answer 2

I believe that changing the name of form.properties to messages.properties and locating it in the root of your resources folder should allow spring boot to pick it up automagically.

When I have multiple message files I explicitly list them in a MessageSource bean so that the MVC auto-configuration picks them up, e.g.:

@Bean
public MessageSource messageSource() {
    final ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
    messageSource.setBasenames("classpath:/some-mvc-messages", "classpath:/some-other-mvc-messages", "classpath:/another-projects/mvc-messages");
    messageSource.setUseCodeAsDefaultMessage(true);
    messageSource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
    messageSource.setCacheSeconds(5);
    return messageSource;
}
