spring 3.0 MVC seems to be ignoring messages.properties

Question

Spring 3.0 MVC

First of all, I haven\'t found any documentation regarding messages.properties @ springsource Everything I\'ve found about overriding error messages

Answer 1

An associate of mine pointed me in the right direction. I changed the messageSource bean in myservlet.xml

from

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
    <property name="basename" value="messages" />
    <property name="cacheSeconds" value="1" />
</bean>

to

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

For whatever reason this solved the problem. Thanks associate! :)
