    public class ResourceBundleMessageSource

extends AbstractMessageSource
implements BeanClassLoaderAware

`MessageSource` implementation that accesses resource bundles using specified basenames. This class relies on the underlying JDK's `ResourceBundle` implementation, in combination with the JDK's standard message parsing provided by `MessageFormat`.

This MessageSource caches both the accessed ResourceBundle instances and the generated MessageFormats for each message. It also implements rendering of no-arg messages without MessageFormat, as supported by the AbstractMessageSource base class. The caching provided by this MessageSource is significantly faster than the built-in caching of the `java.util.ResourceBundle` class.

Unfortunately, `java.util.ResourceBundle` caches loaded bundles forever: Reloading a bundle during VM execution is not possible. As this MessageSource relies on ResourceBundle, it faces the same limitation. Consider `ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource` for an alternative that is capable of refreshing the underlying bundle files.

Constructor Detail

### ResourceBundleMessageSource

    public ResourceBundleMessageSource()

Method Detail

### setBasename

    public void setBasename(String basename)

  Set a single basename, following `ResourceBundle` conventions: essentially, a fully-qualified classpath location. If it doesn't contain a package qualifier (such as `org.mypackage`), it will be resolved from the classpath root.

  Messages will normally be held in the "/lib" or "/classes" directory of a web application's WAR structure. They can also be held in jar files on the class path.

  Note that ResourceBundle names are effectively classpath locations: As a consequence, the JDK's standard ResourceBundle treats dots as package separators. This means that "test.theme" is effectively equivalent to "test/theme", just like it is for programmatic `java.util.ResourceBundle` usage.

  See Also:
    `setBasenames(java.lang.String...)`, `ResourceBundle.getBundle(String)`

### setBasenames

    public void setBasenames(String... basenames)

  Set an array of basenames, each following `ResourceBundle` conventions: essentially, a fully-qualified classpath location. If it doesn't contain a package qualifier (such as `org.mypackage`), it will be resolved from the classpath root.

  The associated resource bundles will be checked sequentially when resolving a message code. Note that message definitions in a previous resource bundle will override ones in a later bundle, due to the sequential lookup.

  Note that ResourceBundle names are effectively classpath locations: As a consequence, the JDK's standard ResourceBundle treats dots as package separators. This means that "test.theme" is effectively equivalent to "test/theme", just like it is for programmatic `java.util.ResourceBundle` usage.

  See Also:
    `setBasename(java.lang.String)`, `ResourceBundle.getBundle(String)`

### setBundleClassLoader

    public void setBundleClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)

  Set the ClassLoader to load resource bundles with.

  Default is the containing BeanFactory's `bean ClassLoader`, or the default ClassLoader determined by `ClassUtils.getDefaultClassLoader()` if not running within a BeanFactory.

### getBundleClassLoader

    protected ClassLoader getBundleClassLoader()

  Return the ClassLoader to load resource bundles with.

  Default is the containing BeanFactory's bean ClassLoader.

  See Also:
    `setBundleClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader)`

### setBeanClassLoader

    public void setBeanClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)

  Description copied from interface: `BeanClassLoaderAware`
  Callback that supplies the bean `class loader` to a bean instance.

  Invoked after the population of normal bean properties but before an initialization callback such as `InitializingBean's` `InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()` method or a custom init-method.

  Specified by:
    `setBeanClassLoader` in interface `BeanClassLoaderAware`
  Parameters:
    `classLoader` - the owning class loader; may be `null` in which case a default `ClassLoader` must be used, for example the `ClassLoader` obtained via `ClassUtils.getDefaultClassLoader()`

### resolveCodeWithoutArguments

    protected String resolveCodeWithoutArguments(String code,
                                                 Locale locale)

  Resolves the given message code as key in the registered resource bundles, returning the value found in the bundle as-is (without MessageFormat parsing).

  Overrides:
    `resolveCodeWithoutArguments` in class `AbstractMessageSource`
  Parameters:
    `code` - the code of the message to resolve
    `locale` - the Locale to resolve the code for (subclasses are encouraged to support internationalization)
  Returns:
    the message String, or `null` if not found
  See Also:
    `AbstractMessageSource.resolveCode(java.lang.String, java.util.Locale)`, `MessageFormat`

### resolveCode

    protected MessageFormat resolveCode(String code,
                                        Locale locale)

  Resolves the given message code as key in the registered resource bundles, using a cached MessageFormat instance per message code.

  Specified by:
    `resolveCode` in class `AbstractMessageSource`
  Parameters:
    `code` - the code of the message to resolve
    `locale` - the Locale to resolve the code for (subclasses are encouraged to support internationalization)
