congfiguring the resource bundle properties file

[rinamagro]

Hi all
I am trying to configure the Resource Bundle properties file in Spring MVC with no succcess.
I am using Tomcat on Eclipse IDE. In my xml file i tried this:
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundle MessageSource">
<property name="basename"><value>messages</value></property>
</bean>
and tried creating a messages.properties file under my build/classes , under WEB-INF and under various places but when i try to load a message through
<fmt:message key="greeting"/>
im always getting this ???greeting??? (not finding the message)
Any suggestions please cos I am quite new to Spring MVC
thanks lots
Rina

1) Make sure you use a ViewResolver and that it supplies the integration
2) Don't access jsp's directy make sure you pass through the DispatcherServlet

ok thanks will give it a try. i was accessing jsps directly before as i am still in configuration and early stages
