M1R2, .WAR and ResourceBundle

[jj...@lexmark.com]

I have a webapp that localizes strings via a ResourceBundle.  I've just updated
everything to create a .WAR file, which I place in the webapps directory.  I'm
running M1R2.

The first time I start Tomcat, the .WAR file hasn't yet been unpacked.  It gets
unpacked OK, but when I try to hit my URI with the browser I get:

     java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find resource for base name
actionStrings, locale en_US

The file actionStrings.properties is in the webapps\<myapp>\WEB-INF, which is in
the classpath, but for some reason it's not found.

The second time I start Tomcat - when all the files are already unpacked - there
are no problems.

Some of the servlet examples use LocalStrings.properties to do about the same
thing I'm doing.  Those examples work, but I don't see anything in their code,
web.xml or server.xml that looks different than what I'm doing.

Any idea what's happening?

Thanks,
-Jeff

Jeff,

Try to put your properties file inside the
webapps\<myapp>\WEB-INF\classes directory
I not sure that the webapps\<myapp>\WEB-INF should be loadable by the
application
class loader (look at section 9.4 of the servlet API spec).
