How can I get a properties file from CDI bean, I mean properties file for internationalization purposes as mentioned here.

In @ManagedBean everything is simple @ManagedProperty(name="....") but I can't encounter the way to achieve the same in CDI bean.

Thank you very much.

As far as I know, CDI doesn't support the kind of field-level access that @ManagedProperty gives (where you can have @ManagedProperty(name="#{msgs.title}")). If you want that level of control in CDI, you'll have to write a CDI Producer.

Considering that the resource bundle is simply a class of ResourceBundle, you could easily obtain your defined bundle with:

    FacesContext ctxt = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ResourceBundle bundle = ctxt.getApplication().getResourceBundle(ctxt, aValue);
    bundle.get("title");

Alternatively, you could simply inject either your FacesContext or Application into your bean:

    @Inject
    Application theApplication


    public void getBundle{
        ResourceBundle bundle = theApplication.getResourceBundle(ctxt, aValue);

    }

If you're looking for internationalization support within CDI for JSF purposes, you may want to look at DeltaSpike's JSF module. It builds off of the core i18n support available in core.
