This somewhat old tutorial covers JSF 1, and is left online for those maintaining existing projects. All new projects
should use JSF 2, which is both simpler and more powerful. See http://www.coreservlets.com/JSF-Tutorial/jsf2/.

Displaying Fixed Strings
1. Create a .properties file
Contains simple keyName=value pairs
Must be deployed to WEB-INF/classes
In Eclipse, this means you put it in src folder
2. Load file with f:loadBundle
basename gives base file name
var gives scoped variable (Map) that will hold results
Relative to WEB-INF/classes, .properties assumed
E.g., for WEB-INF/classes/messages.properties
<f:loadBundle basename="messages" var="msgs"/>
E.g., for WEB-INF/classes/package1/test.properties
<f:loadBundle basename="package1.test" var="msgs"/>
3. Output messages using normal EL
#{msgs.keyName}

Parameterizing Strings
1. Create a .properties file in/under
WEB-INF/classes
Values contain {0}, {1}, {2}, etc.
E.g., someName=blah {0} blah {1}
Warning: MyFaces bug prevents single quotes in values
2. Load file with f:loadBundle as before
basename gives base file name
var gives scoped variable (Map) that will hold results
3. Output messages using h:outputFormat
value gives base message
nested f:param gives substitution values
E.g.:
<h:outputFormat value="#{msgs.someName}">
<f:param value="value for 0
th
entry"/>
<f:param value="value for 1
st
entry"/>
</h:outputFormat>

Localizing Strings
1. Create multiple similarly named .properties files
blah.properties, blah_es.properties, blah_es_mx.properties
2. Supply locale argument to f:view
<f:view locale="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestLocale}">
Determines locale from browser language settings
Can also set the Locale based on user input
locale="#{settings.selectedLocale}"
See event-handler section for best approach
3. Load file with f:loadBundle as before
basename gives base file name
Version matching Locale will be used automatically!
var gives scoped variable (Map) that will hold results
4. Output messages using h:outputFormat or
h:outputText
Same as before

Deploy one or more .properties file to
WEB-INF/classes

gets deployed to WEB-INF/classes automatically
Load the file with f:loadBundle
Output values using normal EL
h:outputText (and a few others) for simple values
h:outputFormat for parameterized values
Set views locale if I18N needed
Extract it from browser setting or user setting
Automatically loads locale-specific resource bundle
