Steps to get issue resolved:
- Place messages_en.properties files in src/main/resource folder only
- Make sure name of file is correct as messages_en.properties and not message_en.properties
- When you do maven build using
mvn clean install
messages_en.properties file will appear in target/projectname/WEB-INF/classes/messages.properties - Check in spring-servlet.xml(name may vary) and use classpath:messages as basename in messageSource
and it should work as it resolved my issue.
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" />
<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8" />
</bean>
To anybody else who will face the issue.
Besides all the answers, make sure you let the .jsp file be processed by Spring Framework. If .jsp is accessed directly, spring tags won't be processed, and you'll see the exact same error. Simply put, expose the .jsps through the controllers.
