Message Resource Bundles

• login.jsp makes use of custom tags that accept attribute values like the following:
  • title.login
  • image.logo
  • image.logo.alt
  • label.accessnumber
  • label.pinnumber
• These are property names that reside along with property values in a "resource bundle" file, in this case called BankingMessageResources.properties (lives in WEB-INF/classes)
• Message resource bundles make it easier to:
  • Change existing JSP page presentation (labels, images, etc) without recompiling,
  • Add internationalization: have a separate resource bundle for each language the web application supports
