I cannot get locales to work.
System
EAR and WAR
Glassfish: 3.12
Hibernate 4.2 - jar's on EAR and WAR
Mojarra: 2.1.11
Primefaces: 3.3
Omnifaces: 1.1
Property files in source folder:
messages_de.properties <- using german language
messages.properties <- using english language
faces-config.xml:
<locale-config>
<default-locale>en</default-locale>
<supported-locale>de</supported-locale>
</locale-config>
<message-bundle>messages</message-bundle>
<resource-bundle>
<base-name>messages</base-name>
<var>msg</var>
</resource-bundle>
Problem:
Example the label and all other texts using the message bundle are wrong:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<f:view locale="de">
<h:head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:outputLabel for="postalcode" value="#{msg.postalcode_u}: *"/>
<h:inputText id="postalcode" label="#{msg.postalcode_u}" required="true"/>
<h:commandButton value="#{msg.save_u}"/>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</f:view>
</html>
Required validation message: Default validation messages use the correct language.
Wrong message: Postalcode: Überprüfungsfehler: Wert ist erforderlich.
It should be: Postleitzahl: Überprüfungsfehler: Wert ist erforderlich.
Setup:
Glassfish 3.1.2
Mojarra 2.1.6 and also tested with 2.1.11
Edit:
1.
Using FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getLocale() to look into the same message resource bundle to display some custom faces messages does not work.
2.
I also have a second message bundle, currently also in source folder which is only accessed by the beans to display error messages:
errorMessages_de.properties
errorMessages_en.properties
Those error messages created inside the bean are localized correctly using FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getLocale()!
3.
"Forcing" german language using following config still does not work. Messages are still retrieved from messages.properties and not messages_de.properties.
<locale-config>
<default-locale>de</default-locale>
<supported-locale>de</supported-locale>
</locale-config>
New edit:
When i start the server i get this warning:
Unexpected exception when attempting to tear down the Mojarra runtime

Edit2:
The error message above is not relevant for the problem. See my own answer.
